Double major in Management and Economics

College Majors Business Major

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>I'm currently a junior who is almost done with my school's business management requirements and would like to add an Economics major to my transcript. In addition those two majors, I also plan on getting a psychology minor, a Chinese minor, and an International Relations Certificate. I'm also in the university's Honors College, which has its own set of requirements, including a huge thesis/project at the end of the year.</p>

<p>The problem is, I don't think I'll be able to finish all of the above in four years. Financially and time-wise (I'm a year older than most juniors), it's probably the best for me to graduate on time in four years. This semester, I'm carrying a load of 9 classes and it's been really rough, to say the least. If I were to finish all my majors and minors listed above, then I'll be overloading credits during my senior year like a maniac. This could potentially jeopardize my GPA, which is currently a number high enough to qualify me as the top 1% in my class.</p>

<p>So the question is, am I doing the right thing? Is getting all these majors and minors worth the effort? I'm planning to work after graduation and get an MBA in the future. I have had great internships for the past two years and am very involved in leadership positions on campus. I feel like there something missing from all of this, and that is the GMAT. Should I cut back on my ambitious list of majors and minors and instead dedicate some time to prepare for the GMAT? Any suggestions are welcomed. Thanks!</p>

<p>Are you sure you’re not the warrior of the legend, legendofthewarrior? That seems pretty heroic to me.</p>

<p>Haha… it would be even more epic if I could finish everything on time, but on the other hand, a high GPA and GMAT score may be just as good, if not better…</p>

<p>If that’s the kind of college experience you want, go for it!</p>

<p>Thanks openedskittles. Anyone else out there?</p>

<p>I recently thought about dropping my university’s honors program. All it is is extra work, including a huge project/thesis for seniors. Besides that, it offers nothing else (you can get highest honors, but anyone else with a high GPA can get summa cum laude too). Is enrolling in an honors college program at a state university that important?</p>

<p>From what I’ve heard all the extra minors and stuff don’t really mean anything. Personally you’ll learn a lot more, and the International Relations and Chinese knowledge will definitely HELP you, but people won’t see “Chinese Minor” and be any more impressed than they already were.</p>
