    Where did you choose and how are you liking it?

    You're right that these aren't great signs, although being a double major in econ and math is fairly rare and is viewed positively. I would suggest continuing in the program and taking more advanced classes. Showing that you can keep going and don't give up when faced with tough courses is important, and most programs understand that grading is much tougher in math and CS courses compared business or humanities courses.

    How are you liking the program?

    Full disclosure--I just set up an Applied Economics program like this at University of San Francisco. Our primary goal is to train students in the skills needed to work effectively in the tech sector, where a growing number of economists are finding jobs. These skills include math and computer science as well as the relevant parts of microeconomic theory. The program is run by the regular economics faculty on the main university campus. Feel free to post any questions for me here or look me up online and email me directly.

    Master's degrees are all tuition-funded. PhD programs, which are oriented toward training future professors, generally cover tuition and provide a stipend. The technical level of Master's program will vary quite a bit. If you think you might be interested in doing a PhD later, you should choose a Master's program that is located in the university's primary Economics Department and taught by full time department faculty so that you can become familiar with leading-edge research techniques.
