College Advice

Hi! I’m currently a sophomore in college holding roughly a 3.98/4.00 GPA. I attend Northeastern University, I transferred in this semester from a state school. I am looking to go into IB after my time in college and hopefully for a Co-op.

I am currently a Math/Finance “combined major” meaning I have to take a load of pure math courses and a good amount of finance applied math courses: here is my track:

Due to how my transfer credits worked out I will be graduating after only taking the required courses, and I can pick one required elective from a given list. I can opt to change my major to only a BSBA, Finance which will not hinder my graduation timing, but will open the amount of finance courses I could take.

I wanted to see which would give me more of a competitive edge to break into investment banking. I am indifferent on which I take, and I just want to maximize my odds. I also want to know if I stick to math/finance, which course would you recommend I take to prepare myself for investment banking?
