<p>Hello,
I was interested in taking econometrics in my second semester in college. I had the most rigorous math courses in high school and i just found out that the pre-req for econometrics is a course that i have credit for my work in HS. My question is should I take econometrics in my second semester of freshman year? ( I am a math major btw but im pretty interested in the mathematical side of economics and i am currently doin an econ course in college and am well versed with econ in HS) Will it help me get internships? (not in ibanking of course lol) And will it help me transferring out if i want to do this in teh near future? (this is only a possibilty, im very very satisified with my current college)</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>p.s plz let me know if it would be helpful i posted this question in another forum. Thanks again</p>
<p>If you want to take econometrics and think you will do well, do it. Take the class, work hard and get a good grade. I took it myself when I was in college. I doubt a single course will effect the outcome of landing an internship or transferring to another school.</p>
<p>The thing is that econometrics in my school is a 400 level class, that it is meant for juniors or seniors and I am currently a first semester freshman and i wanna take it in my second semester of freshman year.(Which ppl normally dont do).</p>
<p>If you think you can handle it, why not take it? If you do well, then people will be impressed, and if you feel that you can't keep up, you can always drop the class within the first 2 weeks without it showing up on your transcript (that's how it works in my school at least). win-win situation. You either win, or you learn your limits.</p>
<p>Most adults (adcoms, employers) would be more interested in how well you did in that class, and never impressed by when you took it (as a freshman, soph, jr. etc).</p>
