<p>I'm going to be a freshman in the fall, and I'm thinking of double majoring in Business and Economics. I know Haas School and Econ major both has a bunch of prerequisites and are highly impacted, and in order to graduate from L&S with econ major you also need to fulfill department requirements. So far my planned schedule is </p>

<p>Undergraduation Business 10
Statistics 21
Econ 1
Physics for future presidents C10</p>

<p>i've been suggested that it's not a good idea to take the first three classes all togther in one semester because those are core classes for haas admission and you really want As in those. but since i planning for double majors, i sort of want to get over with the prerequisites as soon as possible. but is it doable? can someone evaluate how much workload i will be expecting? or should i change one of the first three into something easier like the breadth requirements?</p>

<p>i took stats 21 and econ 1 together last semester, it was definitely doable. i would recommend swapping ba10 for a breadth, maybe something you're interested in: possibly a language? taking 3 of the most important prereqs for haas your first semester at berkeley just isn't smart, you will have plenty of time to fulfill all the requirements for both majors as there is A LOT of overlap.</p>
