Definitely take @londondad 's advice as to AP credits. Also Georgetown’s econ classes aren’t that bad. I-trade and I-finance, the two required upper level SFS econ courses are tricky but there are lots of resources to help you and everybody is really in it together. Macro and Micro, which I took this past year, are fairly straightforward. The classes are fairly large (~300 people) in each section and so you have two lectures a week and one recitation with a TA. The recitations are optional but super helpful because you can ask questions that you might not feel comfortable asking in a big lecture and the TAs will break down the concepts more thoroughly than the professor. You absolutely won’t fail the econ classes if you haven’t taken econ in high school. I only took a basic level econ class and many of my friends didn’t take econ at all. You’ll be totally fine.
