<p>I copied the paragraph below from the Dartmouth econ website. Does this mean - that if you want Money and Finance - it is possible you can't take them because the classes are too full - or you just have to wait a semester? How is it determined who gets into Money and Finance? It seems like for 50K a year - you should be able to major in the field of your choice. Can someone please explain this to me? I am hoping I am misinterpreting what I have read. </p>

<p>Although the department makes every effort to offer enough sections within each field so that students can always specialize in the field of their choice, it is conceivable that rationing may occur in the future in certain fields-especially Money and Finance-where student demand is especially high.
Each field of concentration is listed below with a brief description of the topics likely to be covered in the courses making up the field.</p>

<p>that's not important. You'll get your investment banking job just the same, galwain.</p>

3

<p>You'll almost always get into the classes you sign up for.</p>

<p>The thing with the finance track courses in the econ department, is that freshman will have a harder time getting into certain classes (Microeconomics and Macroeconomics), because they want to fill the classes with sophomores and declared majors that need to take it. </p>

<p>Yes, you will DEFINITELY be able to major in whatever you want to.</p>

<p>youll have no problem with taking the classes you want to take.</p>
