<p>As a rising senior, Boston College was one of my favorite campuses (location, size, people there, aesthetics, feel, etc) and is a match for me (4.5 W GPA, 2300 SAT, 35 ACT, decent ECs). </p>
<p>With that said, I’m hoping to get in. But I want to study economics with either a double major in statistics or a foreign language. How are these programs? Is economics math heavy? Respected?</p>
<p>I would prefer not to do this in the business school, but would if it helped a lot.</p>
<p>Thanks for any help!</p>
<p>BC is good for economics. There is no statistics minor, in fact, most statistics courses are in the economics department as opposed to the math department. Economics as a major is offered in both the College of Arts and Sciences and the Carroll School of Management.</p>
<p>Also consider Dartmouth - extremely strong in econ (big feeder to The Street) and languages (Rassias method). But small town, smaller student body…</p>
<p>BC’s intro statistics is undoubtedly the worst class offered here. Advanced stats is better as I’ve heard. Like others have said, BC doesn’t have a stats program–and thank God.</p>
<p>While offpoint, IMO, the way bc handles stats (each department offering their own version) is a weakness. (it’s almost anti-core-like)</p>
