<p>^^ make sure you check about the SAT IIs. I’m not for sure, but I think that you have to send 2 if you send the SAT I. I’m not positive though. Either way, your scores on SAT IIs (assuming you have to send them) won’t make or break your decision, it might help or hurt a little, but not too much. </p>
<p>From what I hear, only do Econ if you REALLY want to do Econ. Don’t settle for it just because they don’t have business. Major in something you really WANT to major in, not just because it’s close to what you’re interested in. And trust me, there are tons of kids out there who want to go to the UofC precisely BECAUSE the Econ program is the best in the nation, so they’ll be hell bent for the best grade in the class and probably very competitive. </p>
<p>Also, from every Admissions Representative that I’ve talked to: it is really super hard to double major. That doesn’t mean you can’t but it’s really hard. They said that the Core takes up about 1/3 of your curriculum, your major takes up another 1/3, and your electives (basically stuff you’re interested in, also the only courses APs can count for) take up the other 1/3. So if you want to double, you would have to sacrifice your electives (and thus your APs) and be bound by a very strict course-load with very little wiggle room.</p>
