I remember when I joined this forum, I could not wait for the day to make this post. Not sure why my perspective has changed so much. But, for the sake of completeness, here goes it.

A few electives. Currently have high honors.

Depends on success/failure of this fall. Will either be two econ and one stat or math. Or possibly, all three econ. Maybe three econ and one math?

Independent study this past spring.
Currently at another university practicing my Stata commands. Project and professor are stellar.
