<p>You’re talking about the original person right? Yeah, they should consider BBA or something else. However, math here has much more grade inflation and gut instructors than physics and chemistry (except once you hit like 250 or something), so I feel the beginning and intermediate courses can help pad the GPA a bit for someone who comes in with decent quantitative strength (an AP credit or two in some math). But I think you’re right. Finance is a lot like the med. schools, GPA whoring to the very end! They don’t really care about discriminating by rigor of major or anything. If you haven’t displayed aptitude in math/quantitative things before college, then don’t do that in college or pursue it with caution (anything below an A- in math 111 if you’re a noob is a sign to get out of there). </p>
