<p>I am going to attend a college comparable to that of Northeastern or Boston University. I would like to double major in Finance and History, as well as minor in economics and mathematics (they're combined into one program). Is this going to be an outlandish amount of work, or will it be do-able with a reasonable amount of dedication. My Sat was 1540/2310, and my ACT was a 34. My subject tests were a 760 in Math level 2, and a 720 in US History.</p>
<p>Hmmmmm… college is supposed to open doors for you, not cement you into paths that seem important to a 17 year old. My point is this: it’ll be obvious to you what you want to do, what you have the drive to do and ultimately what makes you happy. Planning this and that and not knowing how many other wonderful offerings at NE or BU has – is just cutting yourself off before you’ve even started. Go there with an open mind. Maybe you’ll find your worldview challenged and fall in love with completely different things-- maybe not. But it’ll be obvious to you as you actually live the life of an undergraduate student.</p>
<p>My two cents.</p>
<p>I don’t know why you listed your test scores because this, to me, seems more a matter of will you be up to doing all the work? If it’s something you really want to do and are dedicated then yes it is feasible but it will probably take a little extra effort. Your majors and minors don’t really look like they’ll have many overlapping classes so the only issue I think you might have is that you won’t really have much time to take other interesting classes you may find that are unrelated to your majors/minors.</p>
<p>Also like T26E4 said, keep an open mind. You never know if something else may draw your eye in college and who knows, you might find yourself majoring in physics with a minor in german! 
Haha probably unlikely but you never know :)</p>
<p>How the hell did you get a 1500 on the SAT but a 34 on the ACT? That is, on the SAT scale, more than a 500 point difference.</p>
<p>EDIT: Nvm I re-re’d. Based on those scores, I think it’d probably be easy for you. Just time consuming, not hard really.</p>
<p>Depends on your school’s curriculum. I know plenty of double major and dual degree students, it’s really not that much work and it will help you stand out when you apply for jobs or grad school</p>
<p>Depends a lot on the school - how many courses are required for each major, how many for the minor, how many general education classes you’ll have to take, how often the classes you need to take are offered, etc…</p>
<p>No, not really. It will just mean that your courses will be concentrated in certain areas rather than be spread out over a variety of different subjects. You also probably have to do 12 more credits than is necessary for a single degree graduation, but it’s not that’s only 4 extra classes over 8 semesters.</p>
<p>I am double major math and physics with a minor in economics. It is time consuming for me, but is well doable taking 4-5 courses a quarter.</p>
<p>It’s doable. You will likely need to overload your class schedule and it will be time consuming, depending on how many AP credits you have. S is doing double in system engineering and economics with a minor in business. Stats were lower than yours. He is now a senior. Looking back, probably better just concentrate on one major with a minor.</p>
<p>If history is something you want to study for fun, I would just take whichever courses sound interesting without paying attention to fulfilling the requirements for a major. I considered double-majoring in math and computer science at some point, only to realize that I was interested in the CS electives but none of the core requirements for the major. Didn’t stop me from taking those fun CS electives, but I will not have a major or minor on my transcript.</p>
