I'm a junior now and I wish someone had told me freshman year: modern psychology is HEAVILY statistics-based. If you want to do research or go to grad school, you need strong quantitative skills. Don't skip stats or research methods thinking psychology is all about therapy and feelings.
No, I don't learn how to start a business. No, I'm not taking accounting classes. Economics is way more theoretical and math-heavy. We study market behavior, econometrics, and policy. It's basically applied statistics + theory. Wish people understood the difference!
I'm really interested in cognitive neuroscience research but I'm not sure how to get started. Should I cold email professors? What should I include in my email? Do I need prior research experience to get started? Would love to hear from anyone who's been through this process.
Taking econometrics next semester and I've heard it's one of the hardest courses in the econ major. What resources did you use to prepare or supplement the class? Textbooks, YouTube channels, practice problems? Thanks in advance!
