GOING TO NORTHWESTERN BUT NOT FOR ECON(MAYBE). PLEASE GIVE ADVICE

Ignore analyst 1. Got into NU but I suck ass at math and I know NU econ is hard and math heavy and I need a good gpa(3.7 min) but I highly doubt that I would get it at NU Econ. Would I be fucked if I took psychology or communications(leaning towards this)? Going for NYC IB btw, will also recruit for Chicago tho.

Didn't go to NU but could you do the econ major but be strategic with your non-major classes to keep the GPA high? I would be confused interviewing a psych/comm major from a school with the option to do econ
