Date Posted: 01/30/2003
Message: I am a sophomore at an Ivy, and am currently contemplating majors. I am leaning towards politics, with a minor in econ. I'm doing this because it's what I enjoy studying, and something in which I will do well. I am not sure what I want to do after graduation (I recently decided to complete the pre-med requirements. I am not 100% sure I want to do med, but I want to leave the door open). I may go to law school, or go into consulting (no IB!). Either way, I just wanted to know: are the consulting companies looking for some kind of specific major, or do they just want to see strong academic achievement? I know I can/will do well in whatever I pursue, but I just want to make sure that by choosing a less quantitative major I am not closing any doors for myself in the future. Thanks in advance for your advice.
