<p>So I've been accepted to UCLA under this major and I see other people here have too. Congratulations!</p>

<p>Anyway, why this major guys? </p>

<p>I personally want to be like other Economics majors and get a management job except I'd like to be one of the people with more math under my belt.</p>

<p>I noticed long ago that there is a Financial Mathematics series (Econ 141 A,B, and C), but it no longer interests me and I will probably do Econometrics courses for my math intensive economics courses (three are required from 141A-148).</p>

<p>So what are everyone's plans?</p>

<p>dunno man… i applied econ as 1st option and second as math/econ TAP
gpas 3.8 … calc III and Differential in progress … </p>

<p>my application is still under review…keeping fingers crossed</p>

<p>same with my buddy also</p>

<p>Hope i get chosen with economics so i can minor in management studies and make huge bucks … but math/econ may not be too bad also… ppl say that this is a growing major…</p>

<p>i got in but i’m really hoping for berkeley to be honest. I’d really like to do applied math/econ there.</p>

<p>Well regardless, what are your plans?</p>

<p>Want to go into heavy finance, quant type stuff or operations research?</p>

<p>i’m interested in doing a masters in financial math or a MFE. So yeah quant type stuff.</p>

<p>Oh man, best of luck! I have a friend who goes to Wharton and one who is a trader for Citigroup and they both agree the markets should be doing well in 2011.</p>

<p>I just got into UCLA math/econ and I’m thinking going to graduate school in finance, too. Do you have a specific graduate school in your mind? And r u gonna join honors program or scholars program to prepare for the graduate school?</p>

<p>I’m planning on going into corporate law. Econ is extremely interesting to me and I figure it will help me land a job in a business.</p>

<p>To the op: I am either taking the math finance sequence or graduate level econometrics (I go to ucsd right now and half already taken 3 quarters of econometrics.</p>
