<p>I would probably concentrate in econ.</p>
<p>Also, is there a difference between what ORFE concentrators and econ concentrators do after graduating? are they equal as far as recruiting and job opportunities go? I hear people cite ORFE as a reason why princeton is good for someone who wants to go into business. Therefore, is princeton not as good for business if I were not to do ORFE?</p>
<p>Thanks for adressing these issues!</p>
<p>yeah i would like to know as well. what are the differences in terms of job opportunities between orfe majors and econ majors? thanks!</p>
<p>You'd get a better undergrad education at Princeton than you would at Harvard because your professors wouldn't hate undergrads ;)</p>
<p>P and H are as good as it gets in the field of economics and in preparation for a career in business.</p>
<p>Honestly, Harvard doesn't "hate" its undergrads. The level of econ at Harvard's pretty low though. It's reputed to be the "jock" major and isn't reputed to be very hard. That plus Harvard's grade inflation makes for a nice 4 years though.</p>
<p>Princeton, on the other hand, deflates its grades. Dunno about the demographics of the major.</p>
<p>Just a couple of things to consider.</p>
<p>Go to Princeton, and consider Harvard or Wharton for grad school.</p>
<p>f.scottie is absolutely right: Harvard and Princeton offer equally good post-college career prospects in business. And so do the ORFE and economics majors -- the major benefit of ORFE is its strong mathematic and engineering focus, which directly targets some very lucrative areas of finance, not that it'll give you a direct boost in being offered jobs.</p>
<p>It all depends on you. The name alone won't help you much.</p>
<p>flip a coin!
(since they're equally great).</p>
