Need advice on what to major in? ( Non- Target School)
Hello everyone
I am a new member of WSO and was wondering if you guys could help me out. I know that not going to a target school puts me at a huge disadvantage. As a result i am willing to push myself to make connections and take the steps necessary to land a Summer analyst internship as well as getting good grades to hopefully get into a top MBA school down the road.
My question is what major should i pursue to get into IB or corporate thats will also make me more competitive and more likely to earn more? I was wondering what combination of majors should I do. My school's business school offers finance, mathematical finance, accounting, economics, information technology management, marketing, management.
Which major would be more beneficial Finance or Mathematical Finance?
Personally I was thinking double majoring in either Finance or Mathematical Finance and Information Technology management with a minor in accounting?

Which of those subjects comes easier to you? Grades matter more than majors.
I have only taken core classes, based on my limited exposure to each. They all come relatively easy for me but what I find most interesting is finance and economics.
Just can't decide what exactly to double major in to make me more marketable in the job market.
Thank you for your input CRE.
Coming from a fellow non-target school member. I would look into economics. I have plenty of friends from non-targets who double majored in finance/economics and are now in IB. It's also important that you go with what interests you the most. It will make the "why did you choose your major" question so much easier.
Thank you for your input scdraider. It's good to know that fellow non targets are breaking into IB and doing well.
Luckily I find both finance and economics interesting so based on your post this helps me narrow it down.
Do you think adding a minor in accounting, to a finance and economics double major would help my cause or would it just be overkill and not worth it?
