Which classes to take?

I will be transferring to Cornell from a non-target next semester as a PAM major. I have limited options for electives so which courses are most important for getting a Wall Street job?

Relevant courses already taken: a half semester Finance course, Calculus 1, Intro to Micro and Macro, three Econ option courses (having nothing to do with finance) and Statistics

I plan on taking Intermediate Macro and Intermediate Micro to fulfill requirements but which courses should I take to maximize my resumé considering I will only have 3 or 4 electives?

Would Calc II, Multivariable Calc, and an Accounting course be a good plan?
