Agreed 100% - if it’s the top school - but OP I do question - should it be? What will you study there. Unless you take some remedial math, I don’t see econ working out.

That you want an LAC but didn’t realize some had finance, I’d think you’d be wiser to pivot there - or or least not ED to a school that academically, may not have the right course of study for your interests.

So check all their majors before applying - because at least based on your hs coursework, econ is unlikely for you.

But as @jcpharm says, if it’s truly your top school, then go for it.

But don’t go for it because your parents want you in a top school - that’s the wrong reason and it will bite you in the tail end if you struggle and don’t finish.
