Well, you can apparently take two Booth classes at a time, provided you can fit them around your major and the core. Economics lets you use Booth classes as a major elective (of which you have to take four) but only under some very specifc circumstances:

A University of Chicago Booth School of Business course may be considered for elective credit if the course requires the equivalent of ECON 20100 The Elements of Economic Analysis II as a prerequisite and is numbered as a Chicago Booth 40000 or higher course. Additionally, the course needs to pertain to the application of economic theory to a course subject that is not offered by the Department of Economics. Courses such as accounting, investments, and entrepreneurship will not be considered for economics elective credit. Consideration for elective credit must be done by petition before a student registers for the course. There will be no retroactive consideration for credit.

In other words, it better be pretty quanty and theoretical.

Then there’s your electives. How many of them would you be willing to give up?

I’d put together an Excel spreadsheet and map out your core and econ classes. First row, first semester, second row, second semester, etc. See how much room you would actually have. My guess is it would be less than two Booth courses per quarter per year after your freshman year. But the quarter system makes my head hurt, so I’m just guesssing. Best of luck.

BTW: Congratulations!
