I’ve always planned to get a business degree as an undergrad and today I finally decided to major in finance. I’ve taken a look at the descriptions of the courses offered for finance majors at the colleges I’m applying to. It’s all very interesting and appealing to me and I am very eager to learn about those topics.
I am, however, worried about the amount and intensity of the math involved. I wouldn’t say I’m “bad at math” (low 700s on math portion of SAT and high A math average) but I’m certainly not particularly good at it either (I’m a lot slower at understanding things in math class than my peers).
If you majored in finance or know someone who did, can you please share some insight? As a finance major, would I be sitting around doing pages and pages of difficult math problems?
