I'm a freshman at NYU studying economics in the College of Arts and Science, and was wondering whether it would be possible for me to stand a chance in getting an IB job either at a BB or a Boutique.

Thanks a lot! Really appreciate your answer. I've been thinking about picking up a Math Major along with a Business Studies minor
Also, How many econ majors do you see getting S&T or IB jobs? Is it a good portion or paltry compared to the people vying for them?
No clue what the total number is. But as with any school, the number of seats available is tiny compared to the number of applicants, especially at the BB level. As Binders said, make sure that you're going to all of the Stern clubs, and interacting with all of the senior members.
Tough to call it a target, but sure it's possible to get an IB gig. Could help yourself out by getting involved with the Stern clubs or business frats (FS, IAG, DSP, AKP). I know the business frats always take some CAS econ kids and IAG has had CAS E-board members before. Will help 1) give you some industry/technical knowledge missing from your curriculum and 2) provide some networking opportunities with club alumni if you become more involved.
