Coursework question

Hey everyone - I have a choice this semester between taking macroecon or intro to accounting and finance. For the purposes of potential ibanking internships in the coming year ('08), which would you suggest I take? Do companies even look at your coursework that closely when looking through intern applications Mind you, I'm still a sophomore. Really appreciate any input on the matter. Thanks

i agree, w/ above. wont matter. but take some time to get to know the recruiters, that might be helpful then just showing what classes you took.

 

I echo that your choice will make no difference. However, intro to accounting and finance will be more applicable.

Has anyone else been asked for a list of courses they have taken? This woman at Lehman asked me for that, my ACT/SAT scores, High School Transcript, and SAT II Scores last fall.
