Best Major for a Non-Target

Hello everyone, I am a current high school senior who will be attending Northeastern university in the fall. Since I am not attending a target, I was thinking a good way to make myself stand out would be to major in Finance and Data Science. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

That’s what I was thinking.

Do electrical or aerospace and get a 3.9+ if you want to show you’re smart.

Finance from nowhere will prep you in concepts but shows no caliber.
