Answer
My name is Susie, not Bruce, but I hope to help you with your question.  I have a list of schools that offer good programs in economics:  American University, Willamette University, Boston University, Occidental College, Kalamazoo College, DePauw University, Clark University and Drew University.  There are many more, but this is a good place to start.  I suggest you go to their websites and find the page for prospective freshmen.  Request information on their economics majors, as well as scholarships for Asian international students.  Most of these schools you can apply to online.
