<p>I would first check to see if I-Banks and other Corp Fin job roles are even recruited for at Carleton. If not, you’ll be facing a somewhat uphill battle.</p>
<p>Schools like Harvard, Yale and Princeton don’t offer business or finance as a major to their students to begin with. They do offer Econ. Thats why you see so many econ majors in I-Banking, for example.</p>
<p>If you go to a school that actually offers finance as a major, then you’re probably better off going with finance. I know at the University of Texas, for example, they offer Econ in the college of liberal arts. Only a few I-Banks hire them, and even getting an interview is a tedious process. On the flip side, in UT’s McCombs college of business administration, I-Banks interview/hire finance and accounting majors quite heavily, host informational sessions as well as parties for those students.</p>
