What’s up fellow monkeys,
I have an offer from a bulge in SF. I am supposed to start my summer internship this upcoming summer. At the time of my interviews I was majoring in Accounting & Finance with a minor in Mathematical Finance. I am considering dropping my minor as the classes are incredibly boring.
Should I email the bank with a heads up?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's generally not necessary to inform the bank about dropping a minor, especially if it doesn't affect your major or the skills relevant to your internship. Here are some key points to consider:
In summary, unless the minor was a critical part of your offer or significantly impacts your qualifications, there's no need to email the bank about dropping it. Focus on excelling in your major and preparing for your internship.

Title had me thinking you were the Moelis MD
No, the bank doesn’t care about the minor.
No need to email.
Second this. Do not email, it's weird. Bank does not give two hoots about your minor. Drop it and enjoy your life
If I were your associate VP or MD and I received an email from you explaining that you had dropped a minor and you were letting me know, I would think: “Why is this kid telling me this?”
And then I’d think “is this kid socially inept?”
