So, I'm the poly sci and econ McGill major, who got rejected by Barclays and JPM last week. Apparently, i was too artsy for them. This week, however, I got an offer from the same Barclays! I am so confused, but am stoked! Before I embark on my journey into the hells of finance, I would also like to apologize for having sounded arrogant in my previous post. I was just simply in a bad mood. Cheers, and good luck!

Haha, I remember reading this thread the other day. Congrats on the offer! Perhaps a few spots opened up. In the mean time, definitely brush up on your econometrics, it's essential for IB, haha, jk.
lol ahaha
just realized now that this is a useless post. Anyways, just wanted to reaffirm that major really does play no role.
double post
Congrats man!!

Congrats!!!
Haha awesome!
Hiring is one funny looking dude away from a clown car. Who the hell knows why some people get jobs. Congrats man!
That is true. Sometimes it just depends on the mood of your interviewer on that particular day. Sucks, but what can you do.
But you are a Econ major...so majors do matter.
Congrats!
I still hate you..but, congrats buddy.
Queen's > McGill.
Congrats....

just wondering was this for a position in canada (toronto or montreal) or in the US (NYC)?
Thanks a lot for the congrats guys!
Idiot... you just out'ed yourself. You'll probably be the only kid from McGill in BarCap's FT class
^Agreed. I'd suggest you delete those threads, HustlingHard.
congrats! did barcap and jpm literally reject you and say you wouldn't get an offer and then call you back?
This just in, Nothing on the internet is ever deleted =0
^^^Truth.

He overreacted for getting rejected and also said does not like econometric courses. Not sure what the big deal really is...
Great to hear!!! Do great things man!
