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. |

They don't care about the specific major in terms of what you learned. What they care about is if you are going to be intimidated by having to crunch some numbers, think through an equation, etc. And from the tone of your note...I sorta get the impression that you are intimidated by quant stuff.
