I think the general consensus is that it is fine.
Major prestige rankings.
Tier 1: Business, engineering
Tier 2: Social sciences
Tier 3: Humanities
Tier 4: Gender studies
Was wondering the same - can't someone break in even if they study something random at university provided they attended a good college and do well overall?
Think people can learn finance through a course like BIWS or WSP etc. and network like any other finance major would do anyways
GPA is what matters, not major. That being said,
For ivies, anything is good. Just read through R&B, BIWS guides, and red book thoroughly and take detailed notes
For non targets/state schools, you HAVE TO major in business/finance and have a degree from the business school if possible (IU kids with Kelley) to be considered
