Where should I look????

I am currently a junior in high school and starting to visit colleges. I think that I would like to major in economics (not totally sure) and get into some sort of i banking (in NYC) after college.

My average was a 91 for freshman and sophomore years. This year I decided to step it up a little bit (more advanced courses and a lot more effort). My current average for this year is a 95. Based on PSAT scores and practice tests, I am looking at something between 2000 and 2100 on the SAT.

So far I have seen BC and NYU Stern. What other schools do you guys think I should look at?

Thanks in advance

Get a tutor if you can afford it, and improve those SAT scores. Your GPA is good, not great, but an SAT score in the 2200 range should get you into NYU/BC. Both of these schools place pretty well into high finance, so you just need to get in. If you prefer to stay on the East coast, I'd also look at Duke, Cornell, Dartmouth, UVA, and Villanova. So, get to studying!
