Double majoring as a GS student feasable?

A double major sounds pretty brutal. Unless you absolutely love both subjects, I would shy away from such an undertaking. Major in economics and do a concentration in statistics. Economics majors at Columbia have it pretty tough. As a history major I almost feel sorry for my economics major friends, as they have to take much more difficult courses (I must qualify that when I say difficult, I mean more work intensive).

With the Core, competitiveness, and heavy workload, Columbia is extremely challenging. Personally, I would stay away from double majoring. Focus on your gpa.

I worked very very hard last semester, majoring in a comparatively “lighter” field and still didn’t get a 4.0, I got a 3.78.
