There was no collusion
If you can’t get into to finance you will struggle in Econ. Econ was grades on a true curve and substantively
is a lot harder.
Getting into the business is easy compared to econometrics😏

Econ is a short major. I graduated with exactly 120 hours.

Econ does actual math and grades on a curve. If he wants to be a quant go that route. If you want soft finance go

Ok get me up to speed on th lingo, what’s a quant?

So Econ is math heavy then. Ma 110 and 112 isn’t 112
kotacoug
2/19/19 10:52am
Yes 112 is calculus.
BeefNoodleSoup
2/19/19 10:55am
I think 110 is Linear Algebra and 112 is Calculus 1

No. 110 is college algebra. 343 is linear algebra. BIG DIFFERENCE.

OK I took 343. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that kind of crap anymore.

Like the math analyst guys at investment banks or the saber metrics type people.

IF he isnt good at math avoid Econ though. You can do finance in the business school much easier.
Baron
2/19/19 10:52am
That’s what I was wondering. He did ok in math but it wasn’t his forte.
kotacoug
2/19/19 10:53am
He could still do it but it is much heavier math. A lot of proofs and theory.
Baron
2/19/19 10:55am
This is 100% false. Econ is an open major. Finance is very hard to get into.

Im sorry to say but I think you are out of touch. Anyone that doesnt get into
TPcoug
2/19/19 11:29am
I think the dynamic you’re describing is because Finance is a closed major.

Are you serious? This is challenging?

Econ is also a good field if he's interested in Data Science.

Econ allows a lot of flexibility (I went to med school) since it’s so short.
2018grad
2/19/19 10:48am
So you took the Med pre reqs and majored in Econ?
kotacoug
2/19/19 10:51am
Yep. Took me one extra semester, but only because I didn’t start with that plan

Lots of people major in econ because the got denied in the Marriott school

I would have gotten in the Marriott school.

I’d definitely be interested to know the percentage, but I don’t think it’s

Ok that’s m other question... how does the timing etc work with the Marriot
kotacoug
2/19/19 10:55am
Econ is an open major. Don’t need to apply.
2018grad
2/19/19 10:57am
So the Finance major you have to apply to Marriot and be accepted
kotacoug
2/19/19 11:02am
you ahve to apply to every major in the Marriott school. Yes, switch to Econ
molodyets
2/19/19 11:04am
Marriott School, for most majors you can only apply summer.
