I am applying to the Class of 2009 for a Finance PhD. The reason I am picking Finance over a Econ is because I would get in easier at a Finance school where I can use my real world experience and it is less theoretical than Econ. Though I know it is easier in general to get into an Econ program, and finance does want math but not to such a degree as Econ schools. Anyway, here are the schools I am applying to and I would like a few more safety schools in the Northeast so any additions would be great.
