<p>I wouldn’t say a math minor is useless at all. At my school, that would have been around 6 math classes. I did a combined mathematical economics major that was effectively 10 economics classes and 5 math classes and got the impression that it positively stood out in pursuing IB analyst positions in comparison to a general economics major. A friend with the same major, who ultimately went to Morgan Stanley, had mentioned to me that HR there most sought out that major when pursuing candidates at our school. You’re certainly not going to be doing multivariable calculus or linear algebra in IB, but the ability to be good in it can help you get the offer in the first place; especially if you have the other softer skills as well.</p>
