<p>Which programs have students had the most success with? I want to get a high paying job (ibank/wall street) or go to grad school, which is supported by BSE's applicability, but I also want to get 2 other certificates and participate in some extra curricular stuff and do what I love, and AB can give me the time to do so. Right now I'm choosing between Econ and ORFE. I understand some of the pros and cons of AB and BSE but which outweighs the other?</p>
<p>Just fill out one of the forms. You can easily change later once you start taking classes if you feel like you want to switch concentrations.</p>
<p>I’m sort of in a similar situation, and so I’ve tentatively planned out my first year (can’t do anything for sure because I don’t know when I’ll have writing seminar) so that I knock out a few distribution requirements and take enough classes that can earn credit toward either concentration that I really won’t have to worry about making a decision until at least the end of freshman year.</p>
<p>My son had a similar dilemma. Advice we got was start with BSE – much easier to switch to AB than the reverse. Many more core requirements for BSE.</p>
<p>Lots of freshmen start out as ORFE and then switch to AB later (Econ).</p>
<p>Btw, my son is sticking with ORFE and loves it.</p>
<p>What are some bad consequences to switching? I’m afraid that by the time I switch I will probably have terrible grades in which case it’ll be too late to bring them up</p>
<p>talk it over with your adviser during orientation. do what you love, and the rest will work out. it sounds like you are somewhat intimidated by the BSE curriculum = so why not go AB and do Economics? My husband was an econ major at Princeton (along with countless others) and has done just fine, thank you very much. Trust your gut and go for it!</p>
<p>im doing ChemE and considering Wall St. depending on how much regulation they implement, but to work in finance ORFE or Econ isn’t necessarily a requirement, they love all engineers : )</p>
<p>Can you do math? If so, do ORFE. If not, do Econ. Simple.</p>
<p>I thought taking engineering forces you to take other science courses which are difficult and time consuming, not only about how good you are at math. I can do math but don’t want to get involved with too much science…</p>
<p>If you have 5 on AP Physics (both) and a 4 on Chem, you can get out natural sciences completely. A 5 on CompSci AB gets you out of COS126.
