<p>what undergraduate majors/minors (economics, IR, etc) are recommended for getting business related internships and basically getting on the general business path ?</p>
<p>Probably econ, but you should be able to make it with any major.</p>
<p>For I-banking, anything that gets you a high GPA. After that, get a vault guide to finance and memorize. I'm not trying to sound condescending, but I know quite a few English/Poli Sci kids w/out a scratch of econ/finance exposure going into banking/consulting/etc. this summer.</p>
<p>You can do anything and still get a job in these places. But I'll humor you and say that popular CAS majors for people who end up going into businss are political sconce (if you want the easiest major to go for the high GPA approach), economics (if you're good with quantitative stuff), history, and IR.</p>
<p>What I particularly like about IR is that it offers a combination of polisci, econ, and history, along with a globally-minded nature that makes you particularly well-suited for working in the globalized world.</p>
<p>Also, Classical studies places well in everything from wall street to med school to law</p>
<p>IR's pretty tight</p>
<p>^ I concur--biased though I may be :)</p>
<p>what about PPE?</p>
<p>PPE is great too. Probably has slightly more of a pre-law reputation, but only slightly.</p>
<p>Is high GPA all that matters? For example, if I major in BBB, which looks to be more difficult than pol sci, would that make a difference?</p>
<p>What you'll really want to do is take easy as balls classes your freshman year along with a few business related courses like Econ and transfer into Wharton. Its a strict GPA cutoff. This year it was around 3.8. Good luck!</p>
<p>No, because then you'd have to be in Wharton, and as many Wharton students will tell you, that's not nearly as enjoyable or enriching.</p>
