<p>I took 2 breadth classes in the summer before my freshman year, but other than that, no summer classes. Took Math 1AB. Took Econ 140; didn’t think it was too difficult. If you’re comfortable with statistics concepts and (light) linear algebra, I think you should be okay with 'metrics if you spend some time to actually make sense of the subject rather than just memorizing things you learned in class. </p>
<p>This is definitely a generalization, but I think ‘doing well’ for most Haas classes was based on your ability to memorize and present, so for classes like intro to fin accounting, since the material is simple, everyone does well, so you just have to be careful. My experience with econ classes is that they tend to test your ability to apply concepts. On the whole, I think my econ classes have been harder in that sense.</p>
<p>And yes, financial and managerial accounting are core/required classes for Haas (Everything from UGBA 100 - 107 is required).</p>
