I am just a huge reader, and I love and am fascinated by interdisciplinary application such as economics in education, economics in health care, economics in sports. I am kind of going for the three headed monster of statistics, economics, and psychology at Northwestern (MMSS program has classes in all three) because I believe in addition to pure talent, those three are the biggest factors in making anything successful i.e. sports, education, health care, film, etc. I just like that application. I am not necessarily a complete fan of theoretical economics. I am also applying to UChicago, SMU, Emory, UW, USC, UCSD, Penn, and Georgetown but none of them ED because I really love every part of the Northwestern experience. Also nice work with the chess business.
