Just throwing this out here since no one has mentioned it yet, but you can take Booth classes without them counting as Econ major electives. They’ll just be normal elective courses, on par with your interesting English or Philosophy class, except that you can list them on your resume when applying for jobs. Hundreds of pre-business undergrads take Financial Accounting each year, and that definitely does not require ECON 201.

The procedure for getting into a Booth class is a little different from getting into a regular class, but plenty of people do it. I can vouch that undergrads can take a maximum of 6 courses at Booth, but I don’t think you need to be in Dougan Scholars to do so (I have several friends taking Booth classes who aren’t in the program).
