Some people claim that some STEM majors can get an OPT extension in investment banking (coverage + M&A roles). If this is the case, I'm seriously considering changing my major from business to actuarial science, since it turns out that I can still graduate in time and math is my strength. My school also requires actuarial science majors to take Econ classes.
Anyone with this type of experience? Or any recommendations on which lawyer I should talk to?

Just for future reference, I got an email from HR at a BB that they helped many STEM majors with OPT extensions in the investment banking business.
