Good college for Economics major w/ pre-med classes

College Search & Selection

<p>I can't decide whether to pursue a career is economics or medicine so I decided to go for a major in economics along with pre-med classes. I don't know how burdensome this will be, can anyone give me a clue? </p>

<p>If it's not ridiculously tough, what colleges fit? I'm an international student so I'm not getting any financial aid. I got into Miami, Rochester, Stony Brook, and Pittsburgh. Miami and Rochester didn't offer as much scholarship money as I had hoped so I'm stuck between Pittsburgh and Stony Brook. I've also considered PennState. </p>

<p>So Pittsburgh vs SB (vs PennState).</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, for grad-school economics, do I need to have majored in economics in undergrad or, like medicine, there's a collection of required subjects. To clarify, I'm trying to find out if to continue education in economics in grad-school, is economics the only subject I need to study in undergrad?</p>

<p>Also, I want to be able to do at least some research in my undergrad years. Can I research in science fields if I'm majoring in economics?
Thanks!</p>

<p>International student to a US medical school is an extremely difficult admission bar. US medical schools are also very expensive. You may want to ask about it on the pre-med forum.</p>

<p>For PhD programs in economics, you want a school with good math and statistics offerings, and preferably more math intensive intermediate economics and econometrics courses.
