Most kids do Econ 200 in Fall of 2nd year. Unless you just refuse to take a math class or didn’t place very highly on the placement test in O-week, you’ll certainly qualify by then. Only official prereq is Math 153 or higher (math 130’s kids are discouraged apparently), and previous knowledge of the stuff in Econ 198 and 199. I think the princeton review ap book did a nice job of covering that stuff once I forgot after HS, so you might wanna take a look at it.

Oh and unless you wanna be really competitive, don’t take Econ in spring quarter of 1st year. You have about a 50% chance of landing in a class that requires 8+ hrs a week to do well. My current class has a hw average of 97 for every assignment and its really hard, but all the go getters seem to do well in it and are outpacing even me.
