Hi Y'all,

In Penn right now, Class of 2016, in the college studying economics and looking to do a second major in systems engineering, mechanical engineering, or computer science (new option offered this year!).

Not worrying about jobs extensively now, but it seems that finance companies don't give a s*** about the College/CIS kids for I-Banking and Consulting, as seen on career services. The Wharton page however...everyone's in a great analyst position or I-Banking gig. Not to mention that they have MUCH better summer internship results.

Here's the deal-Will Econ and the second major (not degree, major) in systems engineering or computer science make me competitive?

Or do I need to transfer to Wharton? (AND what would be the new, updated requirements to get in this year? It's not ALL about gpa, I heard)

Also...what would be a good GPA to have in two relatively challenging majors as these?

Thanks so much!
