<p>If you know the stuff already it shouldn't be that bad, right?</p>
<p>nah its just annoying as a time commitment. and if i decide to do mechanical engineering, ill want to get certificates in finance and woody woo (im pretty much set on wanting a business career eventually, but yeah thatll probably change just like with everybody else). ill need all the placement i can get, in order to get that done.</p>
<p>What about Woody-Woo-possibly-econ majors with little or no previous calculus? Would you recommend starting with MAT 101 and then taking MAT 103 to fulfil the QR requirement, or can you take a QR seminar (like the Laptop Orchestra one :) ) and get away with not having to do MAT 103 or any calculus?</p>
<p>MAT 103 is required for Econ majors. If you have ANY calc experience, 103 should be fine.</p>
<p>i don't think it'll be that bad taking intro to micro and macro as a freshman cuz I'll learn muc better at princeton than at my high school :)</p>
<p>Yeah. Like, our class val was in my AP macroecon course, and I'm pretty positive he made a 5 on the test, but he's said he's going to retake macroecon in college anyways (he's a Wharton student at Penn). The way HS teaches econ and the way college teaches econ seem to be pretty different from each other.</p>
<p>the AP econ tests are very easy, true. (i feel dumb getting a 4 on macro)</p>
<p>Pfft, don't. Some of the smartest people in my class (in my opinion) made 4's, so I wouldn't sweat it. You're still a genius, man. You're going to Princeton :D</p>

LoL, phil. Are you trying to make up for not having anything to do by pretending that you are doing stuff?</p>
<p>lol, that's nothing new. He's been doing that for long time, and MUCH MCUH weirder things. </p>
<p>I'm looking forward to seeing you guys in Econ 100/101 then; that's what I'll be taking this year.</p>
<p>I'm taking a page from Anne Shirley and making up half the things that go on in my life. (if you catch that reference, we are in fact kindred spirits :cool: )</p>
