Loved the amount of work and info put into this video!! As a prospective econ major this was so motivational 🌸💕

[@thiagogregory1]

I love that yt recommended this video to me. I am a high school sophomore and for the past 2 months I've been looking forward to applying to UChicago as an econ major. I know a few students at UChicago and this explains most things

[@user-vo3um2sl1w]

Thanks a lot! It was really useful. (I stuck to the end yay

[@fcsolis]

Thank you so much. Videos like this one are invaluable. My 9th grader wants to study economics and music in college. In time I'm sure UChicago will be one of his top choices.

[@anthonywei6336]

Just want to comment that this was a really nice informative video! Thanks!

[@izzbonito]

thank you!! this was SO helpful (:

[@dashakhamaza2250]

real one) thank you so much for the video! im going to start studying econ at uchicago next year, and it was extremely helpful for the understanding of requirements :)

[@chocopuffeater]

Glad it was helpful! Best of luck :)

[@DrizzyDizzyDrew]

Great video I learned so much about UChicago

[@PuprleFox]

I’m a real one! Currently I’m a high school senior struggling with trying to figure out what to do with my academic journey after high school.. I’m watching bc I’m considering majoring in econ; this is a great video! Thank u

[@vincentli944]

thank you so much!!! 💜

[@nishauprety9878]

Can you give me more comparison points between Stanford and U Chicago and in terms of internships and job placement after graduation...if you have colleagues experiences to add. Thanks a bunch!

[@ileolaakin3731]

Thank you so much! Do you have any videos on applying to colleges, because I am beginning my app process (applying to uchicago) and I'm a bit lost

[@shiru6610]

Totally agree with the economic intuition. We always had to give those annoying intuitions after every calculation in theory of the firm. Also past exams literally saved my ass in statistics 😂

[@danielschaeffer2986]

great overview but a little light on how much work is involved (former UC grad & MBA pre-Booth)

[@digitafutura6174]

Great Work

thank you!

I am 3 science major at high school atm. But I really enjoy economics I don’t take it but I enjoy reading the text book that my friend has which is a economics major in high school. I wnat to do economics instead when I go to university. Do you think I can switch? Because I love science but I really enjoy economics.

[@angelwong4683]

Hi Sissi! I'm an incoming freshman planning to major in Business-Economics but I don't necessarily have a strong math background. Does majoring in Business Econ require a strong math background like other tracks do?

[@chocopuffeater]

I’m really not sure because that track was made in my second or third year of college so I don’t know any friends who are in that track! It should definitely be less math intensive but since it’s still econ it will still have math I’m sure

[@RamaNarayanan15_garud]

Hey! Thank you so much for this video. I really want to major in Economics, but I'm not doing well at all in AP Macro as a senior, and although I've been accepted, I'm really worried I'll struggle even more in college. I get math, and I'm good at it (in Multi), but I'm worried my performance in AP Macro will be a bad indicator for my performance in Econ at UChicago. I'm not sure if it's my teacher or me. What do you think??

[@chocopuffeater]

There's honestly no way to know unless you try it out! (remember this is what add drop period of 3 weeks is for!)

[@RamaNarayanan15_garud]

@@chocopuffeater Did you have an easy time with Econ in high school? I get the concepts, maybe it's because I'm not studying hard enough. I have a lot of other stuff on my plate. Do you think I should be worrying about this? If I'm good at math, can I handle the Econ courses in college?

[@chocopuffeater]

I never took econ in high school!

[@sleeppartyperson9509]

I think you are the best

[@IQF20I]

will you continue your study (masted degree) there? or you have another planned after graduate?

[@chocopuffeater]

Not sure at this moment!

Hi, my name is Jacky, a senior high schooler from Mongolia. I am struggling to choose my major and considering econ as one of my choices. So, what kind of person do you think is a good fit for this major? I am worried that I am not a math type of person but I am still interested in how they study society as a whole. Thank you very much for your great effort to share your experience! and looking forward to your answer to my question;-))

[@thiagogregory1]

great question. I wonder why she didn't respond this, probably because she is racist against African people

Heyy, I would like to know if there is a good chance for international students to get a scholarship as I am a Brazilian student and I'm applying for UChicago. Loved the video, cheers!

[@chocopuffeater]

I think it depends on what country you are coming from but check out the Odyssey program as that definitely funds international students!

[@rogerseles1346]

Do you see some econ majors suffer from grade deflation and it hurt them for MBA prospects down the line?

[@chocopuffeater]

Not really! I actually feel like the "grade deflation" at UChicago is greatly overstated.

[@rogerseles1346]

chocopuffeater Thank you so much! I am transferring in this fall, video was very helpful!
