Advice Choosing Between Option Streams for Major

Hi,

I'm currently going into my third year in undergrad b-school. I attend a top 5 b-school in Canada, and having to choose my option stream within my major (commerce) has resulted in a significant influx of stress since it's fast approaching. I would really like to hear your advice on my options I can specialize in. My game plan is to break into a bulge bracket firm; however, nonetheless I am willing to take any internship at any firm next Summer if it comes down to it. I don't know how many recruiters need to come to your school to be regarded as a 'target school.' I do know for certain that Goldman recruits every Fall and holds info sessions here, not sure about the other big banks. I know that my school hosts the largest IB case competition in the world, which is attended and sponsored by every large bank and a lot of mid sized firms as well.

Currently entering my third year with a 3.75 cGPA which opens up every option stream available at my school. I put all my options out there with difficulty level of attaining a high GPA; however want to know if one would set me up for an internship better than others.

Choices include:
1. Accounting (not as hard as finance, but rigorous to say the least)
2. Finance (know few students with GPAs higher than 3.3 in this stream)
3. International Business (cannot be taken alone)
4. General Business Mgmt. (easiest)
5. Business Tech Mgmt. (hard)
6. Organizational Behaviour and HR (medium)
7. Entrepreneurship (easy)
8. Marketing (easy)
9. Logistics and Operations Mgmt. (medium)
10. Global Supply Chain Mgmt. (hard)

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
