I'm a senior in high school. I'm most likely going to UT Austin. I am majoring in math or finance (without BHP). I know that BHP is a separate major I did not get into BHP. Is it worth it to major in math? Will majoring in math leave me with a fair chance at IB anywhere? Or should I major in finance?
