Bachelor to IB/HF?

I am currently a sophomore pursuing my BSc in Finance. I have the option to take Intermediate Accounting I & II. That said, I would like to maximize the chance of entry-level IB/HF upon graduation. Would these courses maximize the chance of landing in one of the two career fields upon graduating? I also plan on a MBA after I graduate.

Apologies if these are repeat questions.

Thanks.

The courses you take won't maximize your chances. Networking, internships, high GPA, technical knowledge, extra curriculars, etc are the things that will maximize your chances. For now I recommend you do a bit more searching around this site.
