College Prep?

[SamanthaE]

Id suggest college prep. You can fill your schedule with economics (the one class that is most directly related to business) and math courses.
Remember that you also need 4 years of PLTW courses,4 years of language, and 4 years of math or science.

But even then, you could take economics and math courses in other majors. For example in Law and Society, even though it doesnt emphasize business, you may still take an economics course.

I would take college prep, but i'm horrible with language. Which majors grants auto placement in economics and physiology?

you get economics in your senior year no matter what .
its just that if you want ap econ then you have to apply and its not a major class for any majors ..

tech doesnt have a physiology class .___.

Economics is the only class I see that is tied together with business and anyone in any major can take it after American History.

[Hey]

Isn't this the class for physiology ?

Psychology, not physiology.

I was interested in financing and chose SSR. Avoid college prep unless you want to be with airheads.

[Hey]

What would be SSR?

If I were to judge all majors equally I'd pick college prep, seems like the easiest to me. It's not fun knowing that you have a 1-10 with no lunch because you picked engineering while your friends in normal schools have 2 pds a day.

... Tech has it's flaws, choose a major you REALLY want to go into...

But as I said in one of my threads, as much as I WANT to get into SSR I won't simply because of my average...so why would I apply for something I won't get into? lol

It's better to put something you want as a first choice, its not completely guaranteed that you won't get in. Also its better to put something you want on top and have a possible chance of getting in, than putting something you don't want (because you are guaranteed a spot). Its gonna be you're next 2 years so why not attempt to get in and study something you're interested in? Besides, nothing is a guaranteed acceptance or rejection.

college prep maybe is a good choice for you, besides ,taking some elective course is also important.

College Prep sounds like normal high school where you just have to choose electives you want to take in each subject, as opposed to our majors which are a bunch of electives in a package

Hey Anexhelo, College Prep isnt precisely a failed major,
Sure there are....plenty of "airheads" but it offers a lot of AP's and senior year it offers economics, but i too didnt choose it b/c i too was skeptical about it at first. I know like 3-4 kids who has like 97+ avg in college prep. o

Business is very generic as a field of study. The math major is a great foundation to pursue collegiate studies in economics and finance but any of the majors will work. College Prep has a large number of serious students that just don't have a particular discipline in mind for a concentration at Tech. Choose based on the course options and what you have real interest in taking. Do NOT make your decisions based on the students you think might be in the major or whom you believe will be teaching certain courses.
