Major Change in Background Check
Hi guys!
I received a BB summer analyst offer in November and accepted, and we are now going through the background check process.
Since I accepted the offer, I have changed my major from finance to economics. When I applied and interviewed, the major on my resume and application was finance. HR just sent out a survey for the background check and one of the questions asks about our major.
I'm also sending in an official transcript, which doesn't contain information about majors. The question is this - can I have my offer rescinded for changing majors? And thus should I enter my major as finance or economics?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
It doesnt make much sense to rescind an offer for a change in major. Just don't change it to Art History and you should be fine. If they ask just explain and have a good reason ready. Good to go
Sorry OP, offer will be rescinded because you can't handle finance
Please use your responses to add value to the conversation. Thank you.
Dude you will be fine. I changed from Econ to finance and no one seemed to care. There are much bigger things out there for them to concern themselves with.
Thanks. But when you did this, was it between the acceptance and background check period?
hey man were you ok with this? I'm in a similar situation
Dude, I don't know why you guys worry about shit like this so much. It's fine. I got an offer when I was still a computer science major and then I switched to econ. They didn't care. I just told them I wanted to switch over to econ because it aligned with my interests better. Ta-da!
but i want to switch from finance to management but still want to do I.B. so it is a little harder for me to pull in my position
