Finals are Finally over
Finals Thread (Not Made By Chev) dbl enviro sci and history. minor polisci . didnt fail ecology ! woopwooop. not entirely sure what ill do after graduating but i have alot in mind . ideally i want to go to law school but incurring 1000's of dollars of debt right after i graduate on top of undergrad debt does not sound so enticing. so i may consider entering a jag program (thoughts on which branch? NOT MARINES) gonna also apply for Teach For America/Americorps if i don't get accepted to TFA. possibly peace corps if i have nothing else to do . possibilities are endless and it's overwhelming.

Finals Thread (Not Made By Chev) Do they mention nonlinear dynamics in Econ yet?
Finals Thread (Not Made By Chev) That's the issue up to forecasting and econometrics classes. Everything is assumed. There are so many assumptions that classwork is almost completely separate from real world application. It pissed me off. My second international trade class started getting into more applicable things though, and econometrics and forecasting is all about economic predictions and such, so it's much more hanRAB on and more realistic. I love micro, but there are just so many assumptions surrounding the various theories and models.
Finals Thread (Not Made By Chev) and done. frack you Exam, finally I get Saturday back. Let
Finals Thread (Not Made By Chev) you probably have a similar course study as me. I'm a math math major with a heavy econ concentration. I have to do all the major requirements that an economics major would (2 macros, 2 micros, international econ, money/banking and econometrics 1 and 2) minus the free econ electives, on top of the normal math major. I'll be honest though, I'm liking economics less and less as i go. My main gripe is that every concept or model you learn is so controlled that it really doesn't seem to apply at all to any real situation. I haven't gotten to econometrics yet though, which i anticipate liking much more.
Finals Thread (Not Made By Chev) MJS - awesome man. That's a great score and will get you pretty much anywhere besides those types of schools you mentioned. It'll maybe even get you there with the right gpa. My only point was that the LSAT is very distant from class work. It's funny you mentioned that, because I have a friend in a similar situation. He took the test and got a 176. He ended up teaching for Princeton Review. Now, he's at Yale and absolutely hates it. Pretty serious culture shock after living in the south for his entire life. Duff - at LSU, empirical economics is economics with a focus on forecasting and econometrics. It's very calculus intensive on top of the already theoretically intensive curriculum.
Finals Thread (Not Made By Chev) how is empirical economics different than normal? I understand the meaning of the word empirical but i was wondering if there's more to it than that.
Finals Thread (Not Made By Chev) Took it and got a 167 after having my friend who teaches LSAT prep melt my brain. He's in his third year at UCLA law and oddly enough has a masters in philosophy, so he is definitely the reason behind my score. mother fracker got a 174 when he took his. I'm more than happy with my score because I don't plan on going to Harvard/NYU/Colurabia. I wasn't even shooting for any particular score and I'm more than happy with what I got.
Finals Thread (Not Made By Chev) Nuhh, why the frack are exams EVER scheduled for 7 pm. Worst time to do an exam.
