Top Schools that will offer FULL TUITION merit based only (no financial need)

Ok, so im brand new here. I need some help because i am absolutely clueless about colleges and the like so bear with me...

I am a senior. Priority deadlines for most colleges is in 1 month from now so i need to figure out which colleges to apply to.

Heres a little about me:
35 ACT
4.0 (perfect) GPA
Class rank 1 out of over 700
National merit scholar semifinalist (apying for finalist)

What top business schools (i want to major on economics) will offer me at least full tuition? I do not qualify for need based, so it's strictly merit based. I need to limit it to 4 or 5 to apply to. Application fees arent free after all :) also, im in Utah, so one of my top choices is BYU Marriott school of business. I know they r no. 1 in accounting, but im most likely not doing that since im very interested in economics. Does anyone have any opinions on this school?

Last thing... Does my undergraduate school matter if I plan on getting a masters in finance from a top school (like Oxford or Princeton)? What jobs would a master qualify me for that I couldn't apply to with just a bachelors in economics? (i dont know much about specific careers in finance, but im interested in anything finance related. IB is a no for me as I will not work as a slave :/ i was interested in sales and trading but I hear it's a Bachelors only job (no masters required))

 

Most school's have a merit based full ride. It's obviously extremely competitive, but finding schools that offer it isn't an issue.

Also, no one cares about "sub-rankings" like #1 in accounting, political science, etc. Don't use that in your selection criteria; it's a marketing ploy by the universities. Not a knock on BYU; many institutions do it (sometimes just individual programs at a school will advertise this stuff).
