Different Majors

I am an undergrad at the University of Chicago. I'm an Econ major right now, but I'm thinking of switching.

Suppose an Econ student with good GPA, ECs, and interview technique gets a 10/10 rating for how suitable he is for the I-banking/s&t/Asset Management job.

How does a student of each of the following majors with the same GPA (adjusting for course difficulty), same ECs (the same finance- type organisations and leadership positions) and personability at interview rate on the 10-scale?

1) Math: ?/10 2) Stat: ?/10 3) English/Literature: ?/10 4) Public Policy: ?/10 5) Political Science: ?/10 6) Sociology: ?/10 7) Geography: ?/10 8) Physics: ?/10 9) Biology: ?/10 10) Art History: ?/10

P.S. Let's also assume that all these students have done the same elective finance courses e.g. Accounting.
