Senior with BB IBD Accepted Offer - Academic Question

Going to a BB bank next year for IBD and I am currently thinking about how my GPA at UMICH/UVA/USC will fair for PE recruiting.

As of now, I think I can graduate with a 3.8 as a finance major. However, I have room in my schedule to get a second major in accounting. I believe this second major could potentially drop my GPA to a 3.7. Do you think its worth it?

Thanks!

@the Real Max networking already....?

Like I said, do something interesting to make you stand out. Do some research, start a club, climb a mountain, volunteer somewhere interesting, get leadership experience, network more, etc. A second major in college won't change a lot for you, because you already have an offer lined up. Plus, the 3.8 will probably place better (extremely marginally) if you ever go to B-School.
