Economics or Management Science? (MIT)

<p>I'm going to attend MIT in the fall as an entering freshman, and I'm very much interested in i banking. Which major would essentially look better or at least give me a better preparation, Economics or Management Science? Also, how big is recruiting at MIT compared to other schools? Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure both majors would make you competitive. </p>

<p>As far as being a target goes, MIT is definitely a first tier target. If you do well in school GPA wise and get involved there is no reason whatsoever you shouldn’t be landing interviews.</p>

<p>thanks for the response. Any other suggestions? Thanks</p>

<p>Econ will give you a definite edge if you can keep the same gpa. Not sure how difficult management science is.</p>

<p>^Management Science is the business program at Sloan for undergrads, btw.</p>

<p>Economics at MIT is very impressive on your resume. </p>

<p>Much more quant content than business or finance, and also more analytical than a business program.</p>

<p>Yeah M.I.T. along with UChicago is consistantly rated number 1 for Economics… It undoubtly is excellent</p>

<p>Economics if the recruiting is equal.</p>
