So for my earlies I’m thinking CWRU, GWU, GaTech, Northeastern, UPitt, TAMU, OU, UMich, UT, UTD

My current RDs are Yale and Swarthmore.

Prospective Econ major, with possible additions of Data Science and Modern Languages (I’d like to study french and German).
I prefer less cutthroat and more collaborative environments.
I like urban colleges. Diversity is a huge plus. Size does not matter.
My mom cares a lot about rankings and I don’t but she basically told me today that either I go for somewhere I can attend for free or a “name brand” university which would probably eliminate GWU, Northeastern and CWRU. I’m just applying there on the off chance they lose their damn minds and full-ride me 😺.
I don’t qualify for much needbased aid so merit scholarships are my friend. 4.264 W, 3.8 is UW, 35 composite 36 superscore ACT, 1570 SAT, and my class rank disqualifies me from both UT and all other autoadmit. I will probably qualify for national merit semifinalist as my selection index is 223.

Any colleges that should be on my list but aren’t? How do the colleges already there look? Trying my best to give enough info but if it’s not enough lmk

I’m banned from applying to Bama but good suggestion. Though with OU and A&M I’m not sure I would benefit more cost-wise

LACs i haven’t really done apart from Swat. I’m just applying to Swat because fee waiver since my mom already said no to it. She’s more suspicious of them since rankings lists fuck em over. how should I convince her that top LACs have “name brand” value?
