<p>Cav, if I were anything but a naif what in the world would I be doing asking questions on CC? Bottom line, college is an investment and while it is comforting to know that ppl that don't make McIntire do okay I would really like to understand all of the options. I have met lots of employers that only want ppl that have particular degrees. Having said that I do appreciate the advice on double majors. It makes sense and provides a great plan B. Believe me, in a bad ecomony employers can get mighty picky. It's just a reality.</p>
<p>I know that the job opportunities for McIntire students are great in i-banking. But how is it for econ majors? Do they get a good share of i-banking recruitment as well?</p>
<p>bump, interested in the last question as well. McIntire publishes their placement numbers, but there's nothing like that for the college. how does econ/math double major in competing against McIntire students for ibanking/trading jobs?</p>
<p>b238 could I trouble you for the link on the McIntire placement numbers?
Thanks!</p>
<p>This is the 2006 report, but they should have the 2007 one out before the onset of the fall semester. </p>
<p>By the way to the original poster. You do not have to be in the college to apply to McIntire. You can apply from the e-school. Most of the college distribution requirements are not pre-reqs or requirements for McIntire. </p>
<p>Having said that its really tough to balance the required classes for the e-school and the comm school pre-reqs. I think its impossible without a lot of AP credit or taking a third year before applying to the comm school. You have to finish the language requirement, take econ 201 and 202, comm180, 201 and 202 and a humanities class before applying to the comm school on top of the e-school classes. This is why pretty much everyone who wants to do McIntire is in the college. I don't know much about the e-school requirements myself, I'm not sure what you can push back to after you second year. Im sure there is someone in the e-school you can meet with to see if a schedule can be worked out that meets your needs.</p>
