This is for my brother-

My brother will be a junior at Northwestern in the fall. He is currently majoring in political science and will likely stick to this since he has already completed around half of the major requirements. However, he has recently become intensely interested in ibanking. He plans on taking some econ/finance courses as well as some math courses. However, will his polisci major hurt him when trying to get internships/jobs at top investment banking firms?

He has maintained a high GPA - around a 3.65, but his GPA is mainly based on polisci courses.
