<p>I meant, since Princeton lets you skip econ101 if you got a 5 on the ap test, should i do that or take econ101 anyway?</p>
<p>Hmm, I'm in the same situation (with other AP exams) and I think that it would be better to just take the introductory courses (of course this is just my opinion :p).</p>
<p>Oh ya, which is "better" ORFE or economics? (I don't even know what my standard of better is)</p>
<p>In that case, answer your own question of standard before you decide.</p>
<p>Even English lit majors can get finance jobs out of college. It's not a matter of what you major in - as long as you have decent background most financial firms will hire you and train you over the summer.</p>
<p>ORFE on the other hand leads to highly specialized financial engineering jobs, if that's your thing.</p>
<p>how can you choose between the two... isn't econ only offered for the ab degree, and ORFE for the bse degree? so aren't you basically bound to whichever school (college or engineering) you got into?</p>
<p>No, princeton doesn't bind you to go to a school, like columbia does, rather just wants "an idea of your interests at this time". Whatever that means.</p>
<p>Columbia only "binds" cuz one school (fu) has a MUCH higher acceptance than another. If Columbia and Penn opened up to this "one university" concept... you can bet everyone will apply to Fu and Nursing (penn) respectively to gain admissions into Columbia College and Wharton.</p>
<p>^ No, that wouldn't really happen. Because if Penn/Columbia opened up to the one university concept, it will be as difficult to get into nursing/fu as it is to get into any other part of the university as it is "one" university.</p>
