<p>Ecs not so great but just wondering what my chances are</p>
<p>von_herrs, you say you want ibanking... then I would recommend a finance and a double major (accounting say) in MSB. However, it is also common for SFS and College (economics, math, physics majors) to land jobs in investment banking. It really depends on what your priorities are, if you are dead set on corporate finance then apply to the business school, if you would like a more well-rounded education, then try the college... and if you like international relations, go for SFS... my advice is to read up more on investment banking and see if it is something you really want to do... loads of kids here want to do ibanking, but most of them do not even know what it is or entails... good luck</p>
<p>you've got a great chance as long as you focus on your essays...btw I wouldn't report that ACT score...as far as gtown is concerned you have a 1540..which is much better than a 32</p>
<p>sophomore12, the reason i sort of like the business school idea was that my impression was there is less hard numerical economics in the business program, as opposed to a econ major. i don't actually know if this is the case, though</p>
<p>Well... Finance (stocks and bonds are math-intense) and accounting is still math related... versus Economics, which I find is much more theory than I expected... in MSB you are only required to take 2 semesters of Econ (Micro and Macro), you may continue if you wish... i don't quite understand what you mean by "numerical economics" do you mean math-intensive?</p>
<p>No it is not, you can only double major within the business school... Economics is a major within the college... you can however minor in Economics...</p>
<p>sophomore12, well i took Econ AP, both Micro and Macro, and to tell you the truth, even though i got 5 on both, I am not a huge fan of economics. I like finance because it is a lot easier to understand. (how hard is Accounting 100? come on). not so much difficult-to-understand theory. (shut-down-point, MP/AVC/ATC all those curves)</p>
<p>in fact, come to think of it, if i sort of apply my AP credits...i don't have to take econ in college at all.......just easy courses like accounting or something</p>
