<p>“just how high?”</p>
<p>I don’t think math requrement is that high for econ major. Check those 13 econ “core” courses out, 3 math, 1 stat, right? what forces some people end up with other majors is the econ degree GPA requirement, I think. I remember Peacemaker said his son got a math degree with ~3.0 GPA and failed to get an econ dual major because the GPA is not good enough for econ. However, her son landed a wonderful financial job which I think is about the same as those in wall street. So, you can’t go wrong with UChicago, in terms of not only academics, but job placement.</p>
<p>Talking about rivals, we need to know what kind of comparision we are going to do - location,academics (what field?), job placment, graduate school placement, or just food/sports/dorm things?</p>
