Finance and CS dual-degree vs Finance degree + CS and Stats minors? (Non-target)
I'm a rising sophomore at a non-target working towards a career in investment banking. I need to make a decision as to whether I should get a dual-degree in Finance and Computer Science, or if I should get just a Finance degree but minor in Computer Science and Statistics. I'll be able to graduate on time with either option but getting a Finance and CS dual-degree is gonna be a heck of a lot harder. I guess what I'm asking is which option will make me more attractive for an IB summer analyst position when I recruit for it around this time next year.
If I go with a Finance degree and cs and statistics minors, I am 95% sure I'll have a 4.0 gpa when I recruit for ib summer analyst next year. I'm not so sure that would be the case if I go with a dual-degree. Plus, I'm a lot more interested in finance classes than cs classes so this would free up a lot more space for me to take classes I'll enjoy more, and I won't have to take a crazy number of classes each semester. At the same time, I want to give myself every advantage I can since I'm coming from a non-target. Do investment banks even care if I get a dual-degree?
If it makes any difference, I have a 4.0, lots of good finance-related extracurriculars, most of which I hold a leadership position, as well as internships in tax, equity research, and private equity (search fund). Any advice is much appreciated.
