<p>I really like a lot about Dartmouth
I def. am considering on trying to go there</p>
<p>I also know that it is a first tier target school for ibanking</p>
<p>What majors do prospective ibankers at Dartmouth</p>
<p>they do not seem to have an Operations Research/Industrial Engineering/or even finance major</p>
<p>(as you can tell I am looking more into the quantitative side of the field)</p>
<p>What about a dual major in Applied Math/Economics</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Also, will my EC's in scientific research and the mathematics behind physics help me get into the math dept.
(Even though they are science ec's. there was much math involved)</p>
<p>The dual math/econ major is definitely the ideal track for our aspiring ibankers. Also, since you don’t apply to a specific school or department here, your type of EC’s and your interest will not have direct correlation, namely, yes they will still look good.</p>
<p>Like other tier one schools below Harvard and Wharton (i.e. Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, Stanford, Duke, and a few others), Dartmouth is good at placing undergrads in all majors into elite investment banks. Even though some say that what you major in doesn’t matter at all, you should major in something improve your critical thinking ability by really pushing you to think (i.e. econ, math, sciences, etc.) as opposed to famous easy majors that arguably require less thinking (i.e. history, language studies, etc.). In addition, your GPA matters way more than what you major in. Between an econ major with 3.8 GPA and an econ/applied math double major with 3.7 GPA, the econ major with the 3.8 may get the job.</p>
