Math grades not good enough for colleges with good/popular econ programs?

OP- there is only ONE thing you can do right now. Which is to find a couple of colleges where you are a slam dunk for admissions, whether you intend to major in sociology, art history, econ, or urban planning. Slam dunk.

Send off the applications and then hope for the best. But trying to game the system with your major seems like it’s got dismal odds.

You may get to college and discover you HATE econ (many do). Or that you love the conceptual piece, but econometrics or modeling is your downfall (many do) so you switch to psych and concentrate on behavioral economics from the psych department.

Stop spinning your wheels and find a couple of colleges which will love you warts and all.
