Econ Major OK for I-Banking?

Graduate School Business School - MBA
1

<p>I have just been accepted to The College of Arts and Sciences at Penn. I plan on majoring in Econ, but I might try to transfer into Wharton. </p>

<p>If I decide to stay at the College and major in Econ will I still be a competitive I-Bank recruit? </p>

<p>Will I-Bank firms overlook Econ majors and concentrate only on Finance majors at Wharton? How important is the major? </p>

<p>Any suggestions for making myself more competitive?</p>

<p>What do these I-Banking firms like to see in a possible recruit?</p>

<p>(I know some of these questions are generalizations but I think you get the idea)</p>

<p>Thanks a lot.</p>
