How can the deadline be so late for GS?</p>

<p>Also, do you recommend GS or SEAS for Economics?
Thank you.</p>

<p>" Also, do you recommend GS or SEAS for Economics?"</p>

<p>GS is for those who have been away from education after highschool, and for those without a bachelor’s. SEAS is for fresh out of high school kids interested in studying engineering or applied science - not econ, seas students cannot major in economics, unless they get a seperate degree from CC. many seas kids minor in econ and i imagine a few of them go on to study econ, many go into finance. if you are somehow eligable for CC and GS, then figure out what experience you want, GS students don’t live in the dorms, and their ages vary much more. GS is easier to get into, and i’m pretty sure an econ degree from either school would be treated similarly, because classes are similar/the same and the econ dept is independent of the school. saying columbia college on a resume might be more prestigious, i wouldn’t know.</p>
