<p>I am extremely smart in Math, but what about double major? How much time per day I'd spend if I want to get both majors? Would I have to take all required courses or counselors would drop few of classes from Econ/Applied Math because I am getting double major?
P.S.: of course I will talk with my advisers at UC Davis (I am senior at High school), but it'll be like in 2 weeks and I just want to know the answers now</p>
<p>Its quite common at ucsd, so I'm certain there's either an officially established track or a well known route for you to take. Math and econ go hand in hand :).</p>
<p>Tight man, thanks a lot, though Applied Math much closer to Ecnomics than pure Math so it'll be easier. Thanks again</p>
<p>Might be of use - the UCSD planning sheet: <a href="http://econ.ucsd.edu/ugradprog/Joint%20Econ-Math%20Major%208_04.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://econ.ucsd.edu/ugradprog/Joint%20Econ-Math%20Major%208_04.pdf</a> . Probably would be different for you, but likely not by much.</p>

<p>Just because you are very good in high school math doesn't mean you will be very good in college math. Math in college is much more difficult and time-consuming, based on my experience.</p>
<p>What kind of career are you shooting for? If it matches both majors in a way, then why not? Are you actually interested in going for applied math and economics? Beware, the higher level math courses are typically pretty tough even if you're good at math. But it's all definitely doable if you got the motivation.</p>
<p>Yea, I am more like strong mathematician who choose Economics, rather than Economists who decided to major in Applied Math, but I don't want to become a scientist, I want to go to business/financial stuff so I decided to go for Economics</p>
<p>Again though, do you actually have an interest in economics? College should be all about what you want to do regardless of what the job market looks like for that field. Otherwise you will be totally unmotivated the entire time you're in school.</p>
<p>Yup, I like Econ. And the actual reason why I choosed Applied Math ad not Pure is because I want to apply math for problems in real world, pure math is more like developing new theories and stuff like that.</p>
<p>Fair enough. Sounds like a good plan to me. I minored in mathematics at one time but changed my minor because a lot of people I knew always told stories about how nightmarish the upper level math courses can be.</p>
