neuroscience degree breaking into IBD
all else equal, does an econ major have it better than a neuro major, if both have demonstrated interest in finance/some relevant experience, and both come from targets?

If you go to a target major is pretty unimportant. Neuro could even help with justifying an interest in healthcare IB or something if thats how you paint yourself.
This. My undergrad is in biology and it makes talking with docs/nurses/pharmacists a bit easier (every so often, I'll throw them an interesting journal article or what not...) They know I can hold both a scientific-oriented discussion and an economic/financial discussion...not just some suit hacking costs.
Neuroscience Student - Breaking into IB Struggles (Originally Posted: 02/06/2017)
Hey!
I'm a Junior in honors Neuroscience at a non-target school in Canada (all odds against me, eh?) I have been applying to all the IB positions (summer internships) I could find, in Canada, and the US; however, no luck. Granted, I have been applying online, so I'm not too sure how effective that really was. I'd like to think I have a decent CV/GPA; so I'm wondering if its the fact that I'm not in a "technical" degree program? I've been reading all the advice I could find on WSO, but I think I might need something case-specific. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me improve my approach, whether that be through networking tips, or general recruitment advice.
Thanks in advance!
