So now they’re requiring an economics requirement for high school students? As a student from West Virginia , where economics is not even offered at my high school, majoring in computer engineering I find this highly unnecessary.

So how is this gonna work, am I going to be rejected right away because I don’t have a semester of economics (how dumb is that) ? Or will I be accepted then notified I have to take a semester of economics over the summer at some community college (which is going to be a drag). I have never even heard of a school that requires a semester of a specific elective , that’s not required for basic graduation.

If it is that big of a hassle , I probably won’t even apply here ; although UT was one of my top choices . It’s really disappointing though =/ , is there any exception for OOS students who don’t have economics offered?
