Impact of Major

hey everyone,

i attend a non-target school (top 50). i am currently a double major -- political science and economics. i am halfway towards an econ degree but it is affecting my gpa. i plan on doing Asset Management or investment banking out of college.

my question is would i be better off a 3.8 political science major / econ minor or a 3.6 double major (assuming the same work experience) or would it not make a difference in applying to top 10-20 MBA programs.

thanks a lot for your help
