Switching Major from Econ to Poli Sci/Politics After IB Offer

Hey! I’m at a school with a target finance/business program (Ross/Penn/NYU type), but I’m not actually in the business school. I’m not the biggest fan of my econ major tbh, and I already have a BB IB offer (MS/GS/JPM).

I’m way more interested in poli sci/politics and would honestly rather study that. Would switching to poli sci be a bad move for PE recruiting or an MBA later? I also feel like I’d probably get a better GPA since I’m actually into it.
