let me add another note: it's important to choose an undergraduate
college where you will do well and you like the atmosphere. 
Once you have a publication or two, nobody will care that you
got a C in graduate econometrics at MIT, but your undergraduate
GPA is used for all sorts of things. So choose a college where
the atmosphere is close to what you want (ie, choose bennington
if you are into art) and a college where the average SAT
somewhat resembles your own.
