<p>Im currently registered for ECON 401, MATH 116, OMS 301, and ACC 271 is that too difficult? I dont mind the excessive quantitative work. I am hoping to minor in math and econ</p>
<p>No, that sounds about right.</p>
<p>I'm taking Econ 102, ACC 271, Stats 401, OMS 301..and i'm also thinking about taking 1st semester hindi..but that would make 18 credits...the said to stay around 14-16..is that's too difficult?</p>
<p>what section are you guys in for oms301? any section 3'ers? haha</p>
<p>I'm in section 5. Each class should have around 70.</p>
<p>"They" always say to take 14-16 credits, often to the detriment of the student. Econ 102 is not a lot of work and stats 401 is easy but I cannot say anything about the other courses. If they're as easy as the econ and stats classes, 18 credits shouldn't be a problem.</p>
<p>Thanks. Compared to Econ 101, is Econ 102 harder or easier?</p>
<p>It's different. Some find it much easier and some harder.</p>
<p>I took Econ 102 at NYU got an A- took 101 at Michigan got a B</p>
<p>I hear 102 is generally easier.</p>
<p>However, Michigan's professors of 102 I heard aren't that great compared to their 101 professors. I like to think of macroeconomics as the "real world" economics (more relevant to news, business, etc.) So I think it would be more interesting. I know about it but haven't taken it.</p>
<p>The thing about the b school is, the core is designed so that you'll either end up with too few credits or too many. It's hard to make it so that it's a nice 15 or 16 if you want 4 credit LSA classes to fit. It's annoying.</p>
<p>I'll probably take ACC 271, OMS 301, ECON 102 and MATH 215. That's 14, which I think is on the low side. Maybe I'll add a three credit LSA.</p>
<p>Redhare, you are very mistaken if you think macro is more "real world" than microeconomics. It is ESPECIALLY not more relevant for business (perhaps you think this because you have not yet taken real economics classes). There is a reason b-school requires 101 but not 102. 101 is certainly more relevant for business, and I'd say they're probably equally important for news/politics (101 for understanding economic conditions and 102 for policy-making), and I personally find 101 far more interesting, but that's just me. As for professors, I hear they're not great for either. The profs who teach the upper-level classes are much better.</p>
<p>chibearsfan17.. the b-school does require us to take 102 also....</p>
<p>anyways.. i actually liked 102 better. 101 is just too broad for my liking.</p>
<p>It depends on how smart, interested and driven you are. I was awfully tempted to go for more, but I decided to stick with 15 hours my first semester. I guess the "they" folks got to me. I also figured I have plenty of time to load up my schedule for the remainder of my college stay. I also wanted to get the lay of the land, so to speak, before I took a chance on over-committing myself. I also figured I would be meeting more new people my first semester and that it would be more "socially demanding" than any other semester. In truth, however, I don't know squat about the appropriate course-load other than you must first know yourself before taking the advice of others.</p>
<p>What is the max. amount of credits you can take at UMich (is there a max)?</p>
<ol>
<li>You can technically take more than that, but you have to pay more.</li>
</ol>
<p>if you're a freshman, you can't take more than 18 no matter what. After that, you have to pay more and I think get approval from someone.</p>
<p>Niihla, you're wrong on that one. Freshman can take more than 18 just like sophomores or juniors can. They pay like the rest of 'em.</p>
<p>I forgot that micro was about firms/prices/costs. Yeah, you're probably right about its relevance to business. I haven't actually taken macro yet, but I assumed it was about all the other stuff about econ. I just thought that all the stuff about inflation, the Fed, interest rates, GDP, money and banking, business cycles, etc. (macro topics) were more suited to economic news and the study of economic conditions because it's about the national economy. I guess I was wrong about that. Is that what macro covers, or did I have a completely wrong idea about it?</p>
