<p>Exactly. Another reason to save it for college. Premeds bank on the easier A. :)</p>

<p>With this, I disagree, at least the typical Intro course for majors. Since Econ 1 is the entry course for finance (and obviously econ) majors, it tends to contain a lot of gunners – as the premeds are in bio. This is particularly true for pre-biz majors at a school like Cal, where one needs to apply into the B-school – early grades are paramount, so the competition for A’s can be brutal. Moreover, unlike Psych, intro Econ courses can be graded on a rather strict curve.</p>
