Change Major?
I am a current senior at a top undergrad business school and have a full-time offer lined up with a bulge bracket doing investment banking.
My cumulative GPA is around a 3.6; however, my finance GPA is currently a 2.0. I am thinking about dropping finance and doing a management major instead in order to get a higher GPA and position myself better should I decide to pursue an MBA. Is this a good idea?
bullshit...
2.0? I hope that is really a typo for a 3.0; I don't know how your course curriculum is structured at your school but you must be pulling all 4.0s in your non major classes. If that is the case how the hell did you do so poorly in your major classes?
Going along with bearing's comment, this doesn't seem accurate.
Regardless, at this point in your collegiate career, it will be difficult to move your GPA by a signficant amount.
actually it is very possible, if the OP is at wharton. at wharton you don't really take your finance classes until senior year.
by the end of sophomore year, you would have only taken two finance courses.
after that, you need 4 more finance courses to have a concentration in finance. so it is possible if the OP took one finance course per semester during his junior year and had gotten two c's. or even better had just taken one during his whole junior year and received one c.
it is pretty easy to switch from finance to management during his last year. it is only four classes to get a concentration... 2 management courses per semester would give him that concentration...
hahaha assuming, hes at wharton.
