[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hire on Wall Street and would strongly prefer Econ major[/quote]

Could you talk about, say, someone with Econ and good math schools at, say, Penn, vs. Wharton.

Also, at my college, the people who ended up with the fanciest titles at places like Goldman Sachs were actually math-physics prodigies who started out in their careers as math or physics professors. Is being a math genius still a good way to break into Goldman Sachs?[/quote]

For Penn, it does not matter. Career services lists outcomes. The top 3 bank/finance hiring from Arts&Sci(could be econ, physics, math, anything. Econ is highly quantitative there): JP Morgan, GoldmanSachs, Morgan Stanley. The top 3 consulting are BCG, Bain, Mckinsey. Pull up Wharton undergrad and it is the same companies. Of course, many College of A&S students go into law and med: the most frequent law besides Upenn are Harvard, Stanford, GTown. The most freq med besides Perleman are Harvard, Hopkins. Wharton does not often send to med school, so it is not listed, but a decent set choose law and it is the same as Penn A&S. [/quote]
