I want to pursue a major in Finance. I’ve also heard that an undergrad economics major from an IVY though can often land you a better career than a finance degree from a non-ivy school. Currently, I want to go to McCombs undergrad… It seems within my reach. Seeing so many posts on here I just feel like my stats are out of the ballpark. Do I stand a chance ANYWHERE IVY or up there, at all?
