I will be on academic probation and please help me
I did really bad on the first year Business (failed 2 courses) and I hardly made my GPA 3.1 which means I'll be allowed to continue on academic probation for one reviewing period. I've applied for Economics (B.A.) and I know I'll be rejected because my current GPA isn't 3.5 to get into Econ BA.
Here is my question: What are the courses I should take to make into 3rd year Economics (B.A.) during academic probation period?
Thank you.

Take as many courses that you can that are required for Level II Econ majors so that when you reapply to Econ at the end of second year and go to third year you won't be too behind. This is called "shadowing".

So that means Econ 2G03, 2GG3, 2H03, 2HH3, and either Econ 2B03 or Socsci 2J03. However, I just finished 2nd year Econ, and I can tell you if you got 60s in first year economics, you're going to do much worse in 2GG3 and 2HH3.
