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

Doesn't matter, that's just my opinion. Take accting/finance if you're really worried.
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.
acct/fin is way more applicable since it'll give you familiarity with financial statements and the concepts behind a lot of the ratios you hear about in finance that said i'm agreeing with everyone else; if you prefer macro, take it because this choice won't help or hurt your chances in the bigger picture
Take acct/fin because at least you'll be exposed to some of the concepts that interviewers will ask. Can't hurt.
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.
