Best major in Cornell CALS (excluding AEM) to break into Investment Banking

I recently got into CALS with a Transfer Option, so I will be entering Cornell during my sophomore year. Because of this, I will not be able to major in AEM.. What major should I do in CALS considering I want to break into IB. Also, how hard is it to switch from CALS to CAS/SHA during my sophomore year as an external transfer student?

Doesn’t matter as long as you join relevant orginizations on campus. Other than AEM yoh could also easily break in through Info Sci. You could transfer to ILR or Econ, wouldn’t make much of a difference though to be frank
