What should I major in? Finance+accounting or something more quantitative
I've heard that if you're at a target, it doesn't matter what you major in. However, at non-targets they prefer more quantitative majors. I'm a freshman at Emory and I'm wondering if a finance+ accounting/consulting major would suffice for IB and consulting or if I should do something more quantitative. Also outside of that I'm currently doing BBA+QSS(kinda like data science) however I feel like the QSS classes might have a negative impact on my GPA. However it does give me the ability to be quantitatively adept. So I'm wondering if I should major in QSS too and gain those quantitative skills or just stick to finance+accounting. These days tech people are in high demand so I guess it may give me some sort of boost for that but for now my goal is mainly IB/Consulting so should I do it for the potential hit in GPA and gain in skills. Or do I have to do it to have a chance from Emory for these roles. Any advice would be appreciated!
If you want to do IB, do finance and accounting. That is, unless you’re particularly keen on studying something else only because you truly want to. I really don’t think “it’s better to do a quantitative major at a non target” is true one single bit. That’s not to say something like CS is not a useful skill to have, but you very rarely see those people in ib
