<p>Do you want to be a doctor or a banker? You need to pick very soon so that you can focus on how you will be spending your summers. Major is virtually irrelevant.</p>
<p>You’re putting too much emphasis on the academic aspect. Truthfully, an art history major can handle an entry-level IB/consulting gig just as well as an economics major. You want to go to a school with the highest prestige, strongest alumni network, and best OCR.</p>
<p>If you wish to pursue STEM that’s fine. However, you have to be FULLY CONFIDENT that you can handle STEM without putting your GPA at risk. 3.8 English major will beat a 3.5 Engineering major when it comes to recruiting. It’s unfair but it’s the truth.</p>
<p>

<p>Yes, so long as you take the above factors into consideration.</p>
<p>The only thing that will genuinely make a difference as you compete with jobs within your MBA program will be your past work experience. IB/PE/HF firms are going to be shooting for the kids who already held a job within one of the aforementioned fields pre-MBA. Consulting firms aren’t as specific.</p>
