| It's been a while since I posted here, but I wanted to share my experience as an econ major (one I think contrasts with dhl3's). I'm an Econ/Int'l Area Studies major at UCLA and I would say classes are definitely harder than my CC, but not unreasonably so. I'm kind of a slacker (I'm here to avoid studying for my Econ 101 (Bet you're in that class too, eh dhl3?)) but I got As/Bs last quarter, and look to be getting about the same this quarter. I'm hoping to get an A in Econ 101 (yeah, should probably go finish those study questions), but honestly, at this point, I just want to do decently and finish school, so Bs in weeder classes are acceptable.
Bear in mind, those econ-hopefuls for UCLA: you're in the pre-major for the first one to three quarters (depending on major), and have to get a 2.5 to 3.5 (again, depending on major) to officially declare. But once you're in the major, I believe you only need a 2.0. So, don't worry, take things as they come. It's completely doable (though the 3.5 for Bus Econ majors does seem to be hard--if you can't swing it, do straight econ with an accounting minor). My friend just got an A with Ravedge, or however it's spelled, so it's all doable.
I hope this was useful for someone... |
