<p>Surprised I couldn't find a thread on this.....</p>
<p>Is there really a difference as far as job prospects in the finance industry?</p>
<p>I have the same question (choosing between Course 14 and 15).</p>
<p>I think econ would be the more difficult out of the two, and I’ve heard that undergraduate business degrees aren’t very useful. However, we’re talking about Sloan here…</p>
<p>I’m not really sure, but I’m interested in the answer as well.</p>
<p>I don’t really know how you can ask for much better than this. :)</p>
<p>MIT - Sloan Undergraduate Job Placement

<p>^That’s pretty sweet. I wonder how econ majors fare in placement though. It’s hard to tell because not all of them choose to end up in finance, opting to go through the grad school/research route instead.</p>
<p>Awesome! Too bad I probably wont get in lol. I used to live in Boston (Dad went to Harvard med, Mom to Tufts med), and during our time there they both fell in love with MIT. My mom’s been badgering me to apply this fall, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to. Then a few weeks ago she had a dream that I was at MIT ( though I was probably just campus visiting lol) , so I am now considering it, but its quickly starting to grow on me.</p>
<p>1123581321- Yeah I’ve heard that too. I think it only applies to non elite programs. If you look at the profile of any top MBA program, the plurality of undergrad degrees is business/management (econ has its own section and is usually second)</p>
