My son finished his 12 Science stream this year with distinction and is planning to study in USA in Economics in January 2025 acceptance. Can he switch from Science to Commerce. Will the colleges accept him there. What are the chances of getting F1visa in this scenario. Colleges in which country are good to study economics?
Ans: Hi Rita...Yes, your son can switch from Science to Commerce and pursue Economics in the USA, as many American colleges value a diverse academic background and consider students’ overall academic performance, interest in the subject, and personal statements during admissions. His strong grades will work in his favor, and as long as he meets the specific course prerequisites for Economics, his science background should not be a barrier. Regarding the F1 visa, the key is demonstrating a clear purpose for studying Economics and how it aligns with his future career goals, which can be convincingly outlined during the visa interview. The USA is an excellent choice for studying Economics due to its world-renowned programs, faculty, and research opportunities. Other strong options include the UK, with prestigious institutions like LSE and Oxford, and Canada, known for quality education and a welcoming environment. Each country offers excellent prospects, but the USA stands out for its flexible education system and robust job market for Economics graduates.
