<p>doe anyone kno if this is close to business than just regular economics. would a degree in this from a top 20 school help me more with investment banking than just regular econ? dont really want to do undergrad business, but am i correct in assuming that this major would be sufficient for top MBA school consideration?</p>
<p>dude a degree from a top 20 school is always better than some no name school. its brand name appeal</p>
<p>Your major will not be that important for MBA considerations. What will be important is the work experience you gain after graduation. A major in mathematical economic analysis will open plenty of doors into finance; however, if your school is not a "target" you will likely have to go into the business school of your school in order to get into IB right out of undergrad.</p>
