Didnt get into major, now what?

I landed a SA position last summer with a middle market firm. I put on my resume that I was a finance major because I was 100% sure I would get accepted into the business program. Unfortunately I was not accepted and I am now majoring in economics. I go to a non target in the southwest. Will this change in major affect my internship? I still have a GPA about .4 higher than the average to get into the business program.

No one will ask you. People change majors all the time.

However, if you are asked, just say something like you decided to pursue economics because you enjoyed more of theoretical aspect...ect

 

Nah it doesn't matter. People change majors all the time. Also it's illegal for schools to release your transcripts to anyone unless you fill out a form of consent which companies will never ask you to do. Background checks can only reveal what school you go to but not the grades/classes you are taking.
