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?

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).

 

Yeah, just network like anyone else. Plenty of Brown alums at BB’s and with a CS degree you’ll be fine. Know a guy in a pretty good group at a BB that majored in history at Brown, if he could do it you can too.
