@shawbridge what was your undergrad major?

Formally statistics, but math courses and I believe that certain economics courses, quantitative political science and engineering courses counted toward my major. I took a math course every semester, I’m pretty sure. I also studied a lot of psychology. I minimized languages and humanities.

US history
