Ahhh, that’s what I’ve been looking for, for ages! So the difference at UCB between the two courses is that one sets you up for an applied approach and the 101 series sets you up for a theoretical approach, right?

I’m guessing that the 101 series sets you up for graduate school alongside the math pre-reqs, if I’m correct?

On a personal note, I’m someone who’s primarily interested in Economics for its critical thinking aspects and I personally aspire to become a successful entrepreneur and already have a small start up in progress and as I stated on my other posts to pursue an MBA. With that being said, ucbalumnus, does it make sense for me to do the 100 series as opposed to the 101 series at Berkeley that is if I get in.

Because I was reading another thread and I came across quite a few posts stating the curve and the overall difficulty at Berkeley in Econ 101A and 101B. Honestly, I’m not intimidated by the curve or the students, but I really doubt my Math abilities.
