I got accepted at Emory, GaTech and UIUC; waitlisted at UMich, WUSTL, Johns Hopkins and Bucknell.
I have accepted the waitlist offers at all the colleges.
But I am having considerable difficulty in deciding where I am finally going to set foot, and I need your advice in helping me decide.
Everyone is telling me different things about all the colleges, people going to the respective colleges say theirs is a better choice.
I am in tight corner here, and since I myself don’t know what things are like in the states(I am from India), I dont really have any preferences.
One thing that I am sure of is that I will be majoring in Econ.

Although I want to double-major, the chances of that happening will depend of the difficulty of pursuing Economics in the first place.
Since I dont have much idea about what major in engineering I want to do, I will first look at it in college and make a decision.
I was also looking at political science to go with economics.
I also wanted to discuss the possibility of transferring to another college - which college out of the three will better facilitate transferring to a more well-rounded college; transferring to Chicago because I thought Economics was the only thing i wanted to do??
