How screwed am I for a career in banking (starting late)?
Hi everybody. I am currently a sophomore at a top 15 private university. I was originally a pre-med student (majoring in neuroscience), but I have decided that finance and banking are more interesting and rewarding. The problem is that I have taken basically no economics/math courses, and I have to withdraw this semester to deal with some family issues (my dad has been very sick). My GPA is currently a ~3.8, and I will take micro and calculus in the spring.
Assuming I take summer courses, how far behind am I going to be if I am planning on a career in finance?
Hey DfhaJjjxx, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:

You're welcome.

If you look to stay with neuroscience, you can play diversity recruiting nicely (applies to majors as well..) – I know a handful of very smart people in finance who've come in with Bio/Physics/etc degrees. Just because you didn't learn it in school doesn't mean you can't learn fundamental basics and break in. Look into that and see if you can swing it, and try to fine-tune what you're interested in in finance. A finance/econ major is not mandatory.
Sorry to hear about the family issues. Hope everything works out.
