<p>Thanks Milton and wilwn.
I wouldn’t shy away from math courses if you want to go into graduate economics. In order for one to conduct economic research, which is usually done through econometric models, you need to understand mathematics. Specifically you need to be familiar with linear algebra. Higher-level economics deals with mathematical models that represent many of the different theories in economics. If you do not take the right undegraduate math courses you will have a harder time grasping the mathematics behind economic models. At the very least try and take Linear Algebra-(pass/fail) P/F. If you really do not like the class then you may want to consider focusing on economic history over regular economics. Economic history tends to be less mathematically rigorous than econometrics and other areas of economics. I understand your plight; I enjoy economics but higher level math is intimidating. If you can have high grades in undegraduate math classes, and statistics classes you will have better chances of admission at top programs.
That is about the same thing as what my advisor told me. I don’t hate math, I just prefer something else to math. However I’d like to hear other’s opinions too.</p>
