Re: #7

Seems like a common, but poor, practice in high schools. One would expect that students reaching calculus by 11th grade (two grade levels ahead) are the top students in math, and can handle BC in one year instead of AB one year followed by BC the next year.

In any case, L&S applicants are all considered together and any who are admitted as freshmen enter undeclared. Economics is a capped major that one must apply to declare after completing the prerequisites. Also, if you want to go to a PhD program in economics, you need to take advanced math courses.

You need a 4 on both AP economics tests to fulfill Economics 1 for the economics major (5 on both for the business major).
