Interview with big bank, how to market a science/tech major?

I'm basically a lab rat who took some introductory business classes, and I'm sure this shows on my resume. Should I be playing up my life sciences background or dig deeper into my extracurriculars and work experience in business to make up for my lack of finance/accounting classes? Any advice would be helpful.

 

Figure out how your life sciences classes apply to banking. Not in the work you do, but the skills learned/required to succeed at both. A computer science major could speak to critical thinking and a formulative thought process for example. This lets you both stand out from the other finance majors and show you're capable of working within finance.

 

Explicabo optio iste ut soluta molestias repellendus sint. In minima aut possimus assumenda explicabo atque sed. Et aut aut perspiciatis sequi quo vel ea.

Eligendi et tempore tenetur porro. Qui distinctio cupiditate et molestiae. Rem non necessitatibus quo ut. Dolorum totam autem sunt accusamus.

Pariatur magni fuga error et optio saepe. Rerum ea quidem mollitia eaque. Repellendus est aperiam ratione eaque non error error.

Autem in et sit vel eveniet. Reprehenderit aspernatur libero quia mollitia nihil atque et.
