I am going to be starting my undergrad next year, and I will most likely double major in accounting and finance. I am wondering if a double major in accounting and finance is really that much better than just a single major in either accounting or finance. Will it really set me apart, or will it just be extra work for a small gain? Also, getting into I-Banking is my ultimate goal. Thanks!

My view is that since you can typically get a double major without taking any extra classes, why not? How useful it really is would depend on the tier of your school.
