Hey! I'm considering my schedule for next term. I go to a target school, and was wondering if taking Financial Accounting, Differential Equations, and Econometrics simultaneously might kill me. I'm a Econ-Stat double major.
I'd just like some insight on if anybody has done it before or what to expect.

Diff Eq + Econometrics = useless. You will never use them in your life.
Fin Acct isn't hard.
The odds are, unless you end up going to grad school, you're unlikely to use differential equations. I'll give you that one, but econometrics? Depending on the job you end up with, it could be absolutely vital.
Diff Eq and Metrics might both be unapplicable to the real world, but they are required for my major, so I need to take them.
Guys, back to my point. So Financial Acct will definitely help me on the job, no question about that. Then Econometrics MIGHT help me and Diffeq most likely won't.
But is this schedule suicide? Keep in mind that I'm on the quarter system.
diff eq is not a particularly hard class relative to the real nasty ones in math. econometrics depends but it's fairly straightforward. financial accounting should be fine.
there are worse combos out there. just don't expect to be able to party hard, sleep a lot, and get good grades. well really, you shouldn't ever unless you're like an american studies major.
