<p>Maxy - yes, it is Dickens'.</p>
<p>how important of a role does the rank of ur undergrad school play in the job market?</p>
<p>anyway, in the latest list, UCSD's undergrad Economics major is at number 10, hopefully it will climb even further, i am going to UCSD</p>
<p>UCSD does't have a finance major, so i'm gonna major in Economics too</p>
<p>Do people get recruited into top places from UCSD econ? I know that it is in the top 15</p>
<p>UCSD is, in general, very, very well-respected in the social sciences. According to one peer-reviewed article, its political science dept outranked all but 2 or 3 Ivies and LSE. The ranking was put together by LSE scholars, and examined criteria such as citations, research funding, publishing, etc. I would think that other depts within the same division would perform similarly.</p>
<p>AlanArch, Denison is strong if you are interested in finance or management. Their economics department has more of a professional focus. And I don't think that it is their forte (just like Economics was not Ohio Wesleyan's forte...I don't think). Check out the placements of recent graduates of Denison's econ dept and you'll get an idea.</p>
<p>Thanks. Do the college websites have information on where their graduates go from each dept?</p>
<p>Some colleges do, but not all. At the very least, they will name names. You can always call their depts and/or career centers and ask--many are more than happy to speak with prospies.</p>
<p>bro premed i sure hope they do
b/c my dad said i shud do engineering, he think economics degree will only get me 35/year job :-(
but i have bigger plance, financial analyst then IB</p>
<p>anyone in UCSD doing economics in here?</p>
<p>I wish I could go there, but I'm from Jersey and I am nowhere near that average 4.0 GPA lol...</p>
<p>Hey, premed, don't overlook your own state schools. Rutgers has some v. illustrious alums in econ.</p>
<p>^Yeah, but then again its STD central, being ranked 3rd in the country for highest amount of STD's in college students....Something like 21% or something, so I am just gonna steer away from it and look at the god almighty Umich or top LAC's and maybe do an industrial engineering stint at Columbia or some decent undergraduate business school.</p>
<p>Given their method of transmission, I'm pretty sure that you have a certain degree of control over whether or not you acquire an STD. Perhaps avoiding a uni altogether is a new method of protection; it's certainly not one I learned about in high school. Where did you get these stats?</p>
<p>Either way, Rutgers appears to be on the low end. </p>
<p>From Columbia: </p>
<p>Somewhere between 20 and 25 percent of college students are or have been infected with an STD (sexually transmitted disease, now more commonly referred to as a sexually transmitted infection, or STI). Although there may be differences from campus to campus, chlamydia, HPV (Human Papillomavirus) or genital warts, and genital herpes appear to be the most common STIS among college students, in general.</p>
<p>^I read it in a magazine, but I forgot which one. All I remember was that rutgers was thrid highest in the country and UMiami was 1st.</p>
<p>Is anyone familar with Emory's ECON program, as well as in which group it would belong (page two)?</p>
<p>This is pathetic. </p>
<p>1)There are over 50 different rankings of PhD departments in the US that one can find published on the internet. There's no definite answer.</p>
<p>2)Most of us don't have offers from said schools and shouldn't waste time trying to compare them with our own worthless judgements.</p>
