For Chicago, Cornell, Berkeley, and Duke, I don’t think any one or the other has a leg up on the others in terms of graduate school, be it a professional program or PhD study.

In terms of econ department ranks I would generally consider Chicago and Berkeley in the top tier, followed by Cornell, and then Duke.

But a full ride at USC or in-state tuition at Berkeley might be too good to pass up.
