<p>Okay im a freshmen at SUNY Albany, not the greatest school compared to you ivey leaguers. I finished my first semester, 3.5 gpa, planning on transferring to Penn State....If someone could check and see if this major would be good for IB

<p>For the securities aspect of IB..</p>

<p>Otherwise will a undergrad in Economics and an MBA from Penn State give me ANY shot at IB withOUT a 4.0? </p>

<p>Or should I just go to maryland and major in finanace since Penn State B school doesnt accept transfers?</p>

<p>There's a ton of threads about investment banking and the type of majors you can pursue for investment banking. Typically, any major will do.</p>

<p>Before anything, why do you want to pursue investment banking? Money? Prestige? If you really want to become an Ibanker, start doing the homework and research.</p>
