If your mind is set on that career path then go with finance. You won’t learn the same financial modeling skills in econ. I also am not completely sure where people are getting the impression that you won’t be able to pursue a career in IB simply because you are not at a target school, as I have met plenty of colleagues that have done so. It is definitely going to be more difficult for institutions like GS and JPM but there are many mid-market and boutique banks that have a wider recruitment selection.
