<p>How hard is majoring in Economics? I'm pretty good in math (760 on SAT in Math), and I wanted to see if it was hard to get a great GPA (3.8-4.0) in Econ.</p>
<p>Which college?</p>
<p>1 Harvard<br>
2 Chicago<br>
3 MIT<br>
4 Stanford<br>
5 Princeton<br>
6 Yale<br>
7 Cal Berkeley<br>
8 Penn<br>
9 Northwestern<br>
10 Minnesota<br>
11 UCLA<br>
12 Columbia<br>
13 Michigan<br>
14 Rochester<br>
15 Wisconsin<br>
16 Cal San Diego<br>
17 NYU<br>
18 Cornell<br>
19 Cal Tech<br>
20 Maryland</p>
<p>^I'd still choose Chicago over harvard.</p>
<p>There isn't much math in econ, just really basic math. It's more of knowing theories, how to apply those theories to the real world and how to make/read graphs.</p>

<p>Check out Northwestern's Mathematical Methods for Social Sciences (MMSS). <a href="http://www.wcas.northwestern.edu/mmss/prospective_students/approach.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.wcas.northwestern.edu/mmss/prospective_students/approach.html</a>
A joint major in MMSS and econ may fit you.</p>
