It places well, just not as well as Dyson or CAS Econ due to the fact that not as many kids in PAM want to go into IB or consulting - I know a lot of kids in PAM that want to go into public/econ policy instead. However of the kids that pursue IB and consulting, they do well for themselves. I mostly see PAM majors getting management consulting gigs at places like Parthenon-EY and Oliver Wyman.

 
  1. PAM does place well, when people in PAM want it. Not in and of itself though. I don't think the minor helps since damn near everyone minors in business since they can't get into AEM. If you really want to stand out, crush the accounting and finance classes they let you take. That'll prove you deserve a spot.

Pretty much what Otto said, almost everyone who is interested in business takes the business minor. Even some of my friends who are bio and planning on going to med school are doing the business minor because it's so popular. Just get a head start on finding solid internships and getting into a finance club. Finance clubs are pretty competitive at Cornell so getting in will help you break into finance or consulting.
