<p>Hey everyone! I will be a freshman at Amherst this year and I’m 99% sure on pursuing i-banking after college (everything could still change, but I like to plan). I hope to go to business school, and maybe I’ll eventually work for a hedge fund or in private equity. I don’t want to get too ahead of myself, but that’s my mindset right now.</p>
<p>The regular economics track minimally requires intro to calc. The more advanced economics track minimally requires multivariate calc, and the advanced core theory courses seem much more math intensive. </p>
<p>If I want to go work right after college rather than doing a PhD, is there any point in taking the advanced core classes? Do most people going to work in finance or consulting after graduation go the regular route?</p>
