<p>I would like to know whether these courses are available for international students? I really like this one and it lasts 5 years but I don’t know whether I could apply for it. It’s for undergraduate, isn’t it?</p>

[Applied</a> Mathematics–Economics](<a href=“http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Registrar/Concentrations-9.htm]Applied”>http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Registrar/Concentrations-9.htm)</p>
<p>That concentration (aka major), or any concentration for that matter, is open to all undergraduate Brown students- domestic or international.</p>
<p>The thing about Brown is that you don’t need to apply to specific programs (unless it’s PLME or the RISD dual degree). Once you get accepted into the university-college that is Brown, you can study whatever you choose.</p>
<p>And I don’t know what you mean by 5 years… There is a 5 year option for students who want to do a humanities/social science concentration AND a science/math concentration, but I don’t think ApMa-Econ would count because it’s just one concentration.</p>
<p>
And even then, according to the dean for doing such a concentration pair, the 5 year option is only if you want 2 physical degrees.</p>
<p>Not sure why people would do a 5-year program. Many people can do 3 concentrations in 4 years, if you need 5 for 2, it won’t look that extraordinary. Plus, the only time and place where your undergrad will matter is grad-school admissions/the first few jobs, which will probably be more interested in what you have actually physically accomplished, rather than the number of diplomas you own. I don’t think anyone will be like, hey, this guy has two majors on this diploma…but look, this guy has also two majors, but each on a separate piece of paper, wow! </p>
<p>You would be immensely better off by doing a 4 years program and taking a year off for research or an internship. And by immensely I mean HUGE, VAST, HUMONGOUS etc etc.</p>
<p>My 2 concentration program requires 30 courses, but I want to have a variety of electives too. I will do this by taking 5 courses every term, but others may choose to take 5 years instead.</p>
<p>The only example of an actual use for this process (beyond some people needing more than 32 courses) was that Engineers may needs a separate engineering degree (although I don’t know what that would be the case).</p>
<p>I didn’t know about that and that’s why I asked because 5 years are too long for undergrad. The reason I want to study this because I am pretty good in math but this is not what I want to study and therefore work. I think that this combined course gives me a lot of opportunities after graduation rather than either Mathematics or Economics. Do you know any other universities that have such combined courses. I actually didn’t find it easily in the site of Brown. I really want to get into Brown. Could you tell me whether the SAT score is the most important thing in the application or the application as a whole. I have a weak SAT score (my first one): 2090 (1400). Could it be an obstacle that would lead to a reject. I would give my stats in an another topic in order to encourage or discourage me.</p>
<p>Boyan, if we’re going to talk numbers, take this into consideration. Brown has the widest range for the median 50% of scores. This only goes to show that SAT scores at Brown mean less than they do at other schools of the same caliber. The application as a whole is taken a lot more seriously- the 2090 might be a small obstacle, but it’s not anything that you can’t overcome.</p>
