Will a financial mathematics major be looked down upon if my goal is to land a front office investment banking position?

I'd be at a non-target regardless of my major. I personally think it's my best bet at a super high GPA since I enjoy heavy duty math and modeling more so than financial theory. I'm confident in my networking skills. I also have money saved for grad school due to the high chance of me not getting where I want to be straight out of my undergrad.
