i would suggest... it really doesnt matter. just get good grades (3.7+) and learn materials related to industries or functions. For example a course related to marketing (106) or a course related to something interesting like green energy
From what I've heard those courses are best for people going into grad programs. It doesn't sound like you're going into something particularly quantitive so I agree with monkeymonkeybusiness
Agree with the above posts....
but if you think you can handle the quant part and not rick gpa so for it. I did and I'm mathematically retarded. I have been doing fine grades wise.
Economics is over-rated. Consultants don't draw supply and demand curves all that much -- finance or accounting would, if anything, be more relevant, since people look at financials a lot more.
Getting into consulting is like getting into (a good) college -- get the A in the harder course.
A quick answer...
Take them if - you're genuinely interested in the quant part of it all - plan to go to grad school for Econ - want in on more quantitative jobs like econ consulting
I know plenty that got into management consulting without the quant series of classes. Your entire resume as a whole matters more than just one or two classes. Figure out something you're passionate in and pursue it. Showing that kind of drive and critical thinking (and be a good salesman) is more important when it comes to management consulting.
