@pme3333 With that maturity and attitude, you’ll go far in life.

Good luck!

PS. Of the universities on your list, Columbia is indeed the one which does best at looking beyond issues of undergraduate college prestige. You may also check out UPenn - they seem to also have a diversity of backgrounds among their PhD students. Finally - remember that a PhD in economics from schools like Wisconsin or Minnesota (or UCSD) will provide >95% of the opportunities that a PhD from MIT will, and these universities have students with a much higher diversity of backgrounds (and a wider variety of undergraduate colleges among their graduate students) than do MIT or Harvard.
