Consulting and Recruitment oppurtunities for Econ CAS majors vs. AEM at Cornell

Hey all,

I'm a high school senior and since I've visited Cornell and I've been absolutely in love. I am interested in a career and finance but have anecdotally heard that it is much harder to get an IB/consulting job if someone is an econ major in CAS versus having to be an AEM major. How true is this and do recruiters still hire kids from CAS or is it much more difficult?
