    I apologize for placing 4 ads in this video but I felt it matched up with the many hours I put into researching, writing, filming, STRUGGLING WITH MY MIC, editing, etc. this video. (Something like 8-9 hours...........) However, I am confident that the information provided here is very useful and can't be found anywhere else on the internet!

    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

    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.

    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 😂

    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 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?

    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;-))

    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
      @chocopuffeater  4 роки тому +3

      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

    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.
