How would an Econ degree from a target Public (think UofM, UVA, UNC) be viewed in IBank recruiting as oppose to a BBA?

Econ is on a lower pedestal obviously. The BB's definitely only recruit from BBA's unless you have connections. Some of the boutiques may take a look at them though.
That is wrong. They do hire econ majors as well. Not at the same rate, but that probably has to do with a higher average GPA in the BBA. Those who have the GPA but choose econ over BBA won't really have a problem.
My bad, my post was regarding only the 3 schools he mentioned and other big public schools, if you still think I'm wrong then you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Get a BBA
Good for you then, you're an exception though.
Most of the kids with 3.7+ GPA's will choose BBA over econ. Not a bad choice, just wasn't for me.
I'll take any economics course over having to sit through an operations course. Plus, I was still able to take the accounting courses.
If you have a high GPA, it won't be a concern from either major.
But hey, you make it sound like you know what you're talking about, so you must be right!
There are some econ majors who get BB offers from Michigan, but the BBA has the advantage of a better career office.
Well, I go to one of those schools too, I'm doing a BBA here and I know from personal experience that Econ majors have a harder time getting recruited by BB's.
The trick is, to not make it a question. Have a 3.7+ and it won't matter. If you're not at the top of range, yes I will give it to you that BBA will get the nod there.
I'll say now that I don't have a 3.7 plus, more like a 3.3, but I have taken courses in my school's business school and have gotten the median grade competing with mostly B school students. Also, I do have some connections
If you have a 3.3 at one of those schools, get a BBA.
