people are at least comparing with Econ/Math.
however the fact and the truth is that business programs are harder and more competitive to get in, thus smarter students on the average.



That makes no sense. Were you an undergrad business major? Just because there are lots of kids interested in a vocational major doesn’t mean they are the smartest kids.


Makes perfect sense.
Business major is in high demand, more competitive, and harder to get in.
You need to have higher stats to get in, thus students are smarter on the average.
Just like students at Harvard are on the average smarter than students at UVA.

Nope, not just Wharton.
It's as hard as STEM major to get in for pretty much any selective schools with business programs, sometimes harder.

I wouldn't use the word "dumb," but generally, yes, the kids who were not taking AP classes in high school; but there are always a few exceptions.

Posts like this are so obnoxious and inappropriate. OP must be a really ugly person inside.

That is exactly why threads like this one are pointless - because any major can have dumb students. As OP demonstrates.

OP, you read like a bored middle schooler, and are likely trying to pass as one, but I find it sad, as a grown adult, that your troll fails are multiple, and indicative of much bigger problems.

It is a beautiful winter day - don't you have a family, or have a child or a spouse to enjoy - that can stand to have you around?

I mean, I understand being lonely, or needing medical attention, but you need to take part in something constructive. Maybe volunteer or feed the hungry or those with much less than you. Do you really want your tombstone to someday read: Troll Fail High Score. Continuously Made Bad Choices. Missed the Most Beautiful of Days?

My God. That chip on your shoulder must mightily weigh you down.

Business majors have to take calculus to graduate.

Why would they need to?


They don’t. I have a PhD in finance and economics. I got it because I love to learn and teach, and I’m independently wealthy. That would be a horrible path for someone who is first generation. I teach this; phds bring down your anticipated income.

Hey dumb @&&

this is translated:

limit as GPA goes to 0, Engineering major changes to Business major.
