<p>Hi, I was wondering whether a major in Finance/Math, Finance/Econ or Finance/Stats would generally be more beneficial for a future job on wall street.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>The difference is marginal at best, I would do whichever combination you feel more comfortable with, as in the one that will allow you to get higher grades and have time for leadership positions.</p>
<p>Unless you wanna’ do Sales and Trading… I would do a math major for that.</p>
<p>I’d actually say finance/stat is the better combo</p>
<p>Finance/math or finance/stats. Econ/stats if you’re at a target w/o a B-school.</p>
<p>Finance and Computer Science or Economics and Computer Science is better. Also, you should know accounting.</p>
<p>Finance, accounting, math, stats, econ, computer science… It’s all so confusing lol. Would it be possible to major in computer science with no prior experience in that field? I didn’t even take a science 12.</p>
<p>Comp Sci has nothing to do with science.</p>
<p>yeah, CS in college is basically applied maths. You’ll notice it’s usually grouped with mathematics and statistics and away from the natural sciences. So if you can do math, you do computer science.</p>
<p>Ah I see, what I misleading name lol. Thanks for all the feedback, I’ll meet with my academic advisor before making my decision, since I don’t declare until 3rd year.</p>
<p>How does a CS major compare to a Math and/or stats major for IBanking? (since those 3 are often grouped together)</p>
<p>It will vary depending on your school’s curriculum, but usually Math is the most rigorous, followed by Computer Science, and then Statistics. Of course, where IBanking is concerned, GPA is king, so . . .</p>
<p>Interesting thread. I like how some mentioned the combo of finance and comp sci. That brings me to a question, what kind of career allows you to use your financial wizz and computer savviness?</p>

Why do you say that Math and Comp Sci are more rigorous than Stats? Can you explain why?</p>
