<p>So I was accepted to these schools, and was wondering which would be better for a potential economics major. I am still going to visit these schools, but just wanted some advice on which one would be better for my field of study. Any ideas?</p>
<p>BC def, CMU is more tech. I’m not sure about Wesleyan</p>
<p>Ignore Carnegie Mellon. If you’re conservative go to Boston College, if you’re liberal go to Wesleyan.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that Wesleyan’s economics is more focused on theory. I was looking at the student affairs website for cmu for the 59 2010 graduates from economics major 29 were employed and 15 went to grad school. <a href=“http://www.studentaffairs.cmu.edu/career/Students/gps1/explore/survey/pdf/Economics.pdf[/url]”>http://www.studentaffairs.cmu.edu/career/Students/gps1/explore/survey/pdf/Economics.pdf</a>
but then again I was wondering that if i went to wesleyan my overall college experience would be better. I really don’t know</p>
<p>Wesleyan is higher ranked than Boston College which is a more conservative school.</p>
<p>destinyhelp</p>
<p>can you explain why you so readily dismiss CM, my son has a similar decision to make only instead of Wesleyan his 3rd choice is William and Mary, just helps if I know why you say this</p>
<p>CMU has an amazing Economics program
