I am a potential econ major at Princeton and am planning on combining that with a finance certificate. I scored a 5 on my AP Micro/Macro exams and a 5 on my AP Calc BC exam. I was wondering the level of difficulty of MAT 201 for someone who enjoys math but is not a math major and has no knowledge beyond BC Calc. Also, is it wise to use the econ credit and take ECO 200?, or would it be better to solidify introductory econ knowledge and take ECO 100 and 101. Just looking for advice from current students, as I do not want to wait until orientation for these answers. I was planning on combining these classes with a writing seminar and PSY 101 to fill out my fall schedule. Any advice or comments are greatly appreciated.

MAT 201, multivariable calculus, is the class that tends to be "after" BC Calc. You're not expected to know or have seen multivariable calc, so it shouldn't be hard at all. If you also enjoy math, then I assume you are good at it, so the difficulty will not be too bad.

I'm not an econ major, but I got a 5 on macro exam and skipped econ 101. I'm pretty sure the stuff you learn are going to be roughly the same, maybe with a few extra things you didn't know about. I'd advise you to not waste time taking ECO 100 and 101. They'll probably be boring classes anyways if you've already done the material, and there's also always like 150+ people in each class.
