Cash’d, you have solid credentials. Economics/Business are very good majors for future Investment Bankers, as is Mathematics. But quite a few of my friends at Michigan majored in English, Foreign Languages, History, Political Science, Biology and Psychology and they too got jobs with top Investment Banks. So there is not rhyme or reason. Get into the best schools you can, maintain a high GPA and plan ahead…and you should be able to land a good job at an Investment Bank.

Your list of universities is made up of major IB hunting grounds. Wharton, Chicago, Michigan, Cal, NYU and Georgetown have amazing connections to Wall Street. You have a decent shot at all of those schools. With the exception of Chicago, they all offer Business and Economics, so it is really up to you which way you want to go. And even if Chicago does not have a business program for undergrads, its Econ program is so amazing, Investment Banks recruit there heavily.

In short, like so many things in life, there is a multitude of ways to accomplish the goal.
