@Mom2x2018 It’s a private school, so being a MA taxpayer would be more meaningful if it were a state school like Ohio State or U of Michigan.
SCRATCH THAT–I see you were talking about CA. Too many comments to keep track 
all for intended major as Economics. NEU is honors. UNC with scholars program (I think it has some similar name), BU with none of those tags
