[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought many ppl chose econ as a back door to business.[/quote] why do you need a backdoor? Econ is a tougher major than business. If you can’t do econ you do business[/quote] It's not about what you can do, both are fairly easy majors, it's about the signaling value of being able to get in to the business school vs not being able to get into the business school and thus needing to major in econ. Funny enough, signaling is a pretty fundamental econ concept.[/quote] It’s not that it is a back door, but I know many Econ majors from top privates who only majored in Econ because you can’t get a finance degree from Harvard. They didn’t have any real interest in the major but saw it as a good major for consulting, Wall Street, etc. I would wager if Harvard offered a finance major that easily 50%…maybe 75% of the current Econ majors would switch to that major.
