FTE Economics 2014

<p>Hi everyone! I noticed there wasn't a forum for this program for this year. Acceptance letters for the regular deadline go out this week D: I'm nervous, but here's this for everyone to talk about it. Where did you guys apply to go? and if you already got accepted, where are you going? :)</p>

<p>I’m going to Boulder. </p>

<p>I’m going to UCB. I’m pretty sure that we have a thread for this though. </p>

<p>@Hawkace yeah I realized that after but there’s no way I can delete this one though.</p>

<p>@Hawkace @mango2015 How was the FTE program? If I’ve taken AP Economics, how useful is the program?</p>

<p>@Woandering‌ It was truly amazing. You don’t need to take economics before this program. Also, the experience that you will gain is truly life-changing. I would recommend it to everyone. </p>

<p>@Hawkace Thank you for responding. My second question was about how useful the program was if I have already taken AP Economics. Is it more about discussion/debating or learning the concepts?</p>

<p>@Woandering‌ It’s more of learning the concepts rather than debating. It’s also focused on leadership, which really was cathartic. </p>

<p>I took AP Microeconomics prior to going and to be honest, I was a bit disappointed because I didn’t really learn anything new. It’s like an intro into economics.</p>
