Adcomms see everything. Whether they care or not is up for discussion since none of us sit in the committee.

Muir, probably

No, but it might be hard for you to pass them unless you’re basically doing the math or math/econ major anyway. For a graduate degree in Econ from any reputable school, you’re going to need the equivalent of Calc I and II, Linear Algebra, ODE, PDE, Real Analysis, and Probability Theory; things like Topology, Functional Analysis, Advanced Calculus, etc. are bonuses. You have a better chance of making it to a top econ program being a pure math major than you do being a pure econ major.
