If I study Computer Science at Brown, can I still break into IB

Hi there,I am thinking about going to Brown and I want to break into IB.I also want to go into SWD in case IB fails. I want to have a useful degree under my belt. Can I break in with a cs degree?

Know people at Brown who did CS and Econ or CS and finance as a degree and were able to get offers from GS/MS/JPM

 

Cannot confirm. But I believe so. I think if anything you would want to major in CS over Econ. Maybe do CS major and econ or finance minor (not sure if that is possible at Brown, not familiar with their system).
