Hello, fellow wall street puppets! I am an international planning to do my undergrad in the us and break into IB, the usual, just like everyone else. So, given the fact that i MUST choose a STEM degree for the 3y OPT, which one do you guys reckon is the "best" or "less worse" for high finance?

Otherwise, maybe look into CS or Math if you're good at those.
Got it, thanks boss
