would this be a good idea? With wharton next to it, should I apply to wharton instead? the prestige is one thing, but I really love economics and it seems business + some math lol.

also, how much math is required in higher level economics? I know people say it is math focused, but people just say calc etc. is required. Do you have to be good at math (i’m “good” at math) or some sort of USAMO math-loving genius. I’m in calc bc (senior year) and doing fine, I like math, but will I struggle? is the math truly abstract/difficult or are these “myths” coming from people that do not like math?

edit: on a side note, how is grade deflation / inflation? There was not much info on gradeinflation.com, could some former or current students give some insight?

Thanks for your time
