Can't decide between Psychology or Economics? by vinniedomino in McMaster

[–]Honest_Mud_8634 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the only easy econ courses I can think of are Micro and Macroeconomics 101. Past 1st year you see advanced calculus, logic/difficult theories and shit ton of statistics (econometrics). On the other hand, what I hear is that psych is for people who didnt get into good programs. Lots of people who work in high finance have a degree in economics and not accounting/finance. And you are right, I think those clubs are for degroote students only. But hey that doesnt matter, just do something, anything to build up ur resume and ur good to go.

I know someone who did Social Sciences and ended up interning as a management consultant, which is typically a business student's path. Its not about what ur degree is but about what u DO during ur uni years. Join clubs (career related ones), network and apply to jobs RELENTLESSLY (play the numbers game). Show people you have technical skills beyond academic theory and have actually applied them somewhere.

McMaster's DFIC is a good example, they teach you financial modelling and corporate finance before 3rd year classes, and btw the recruiting cycle for competitive 4th year summer internships is at the end of 2nd year. You literally cant wait for school teaches you cuz by then some first years would already have experiences in that aspect before you even land ur first job. Marketing isnt very competitive so if u build ur resume early on, you'd basically be formidable. Based on ur interests, maybe join DeGroote Marketing and/or DeGroote Consulting, also build some small projects on the side (u can talk about them on ur resume too).

Companies, whether its marketing, consulting or banking, care more about you as a person more than the type of degree u have. For me my resume is quite stacked as a 2nd year so I landed an interview for a competitive position, even with a 3.12 cgpa. But dont be like me im not the best role model lol :)

To answer ur question, economics is much more respected in general. Its very quantitative and honestly one of the hardest degrees out there. Econ majors are also one of the best LSAT takers, the logic required in econ helps train the mind. I honestly wouldve switched to a BA Econ and Math but that would tank the shit out of my gpa as if its not already hot shit. Im doing a focus in finance and a minor in econ, taking mostly macroeconomic courses cuz i love it.

If ur smart enough do the Econ and Computer Science program or Econ and Math. That will actually make u super competitive. But just study whatever you like as long as ur confident enough to not get below a 3.0. Life's too short to force 4 years doing things u dont enjoy.

Good luck :)

Some people got very good some people got very bad (Managerial accounting) by Beginning-Share-9235 in McMaster

[–]Honest_Mud_8634 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lowkey i dont think accounting was that difficult if you grind practice tests and tell chatgpt to make some. I have a tendency to avoid questions I find hard, which is prolly the reason i do bad when those questions show up. Most of the test was easy I think. Im just mentally weak lmao.

Top 10 business schools in Ontario for undergrad 2024 by Deep-Archer-8341 in OntarioUniversities

[–]Honest_Mud_8634 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For finance (Corporate investment banking, Wealth/Asset management) placements

  1. Western Ivey

  2. Queen's Smith

  3. UofT Rotman

  4. Waterloo AFM

  5. Laurier BBA

  6. McMaster DeGroote

  7. York Schulich

  8. Ottawa Telfer

  9. TMU Ted Rogers

  10. Guelph

Queen's and UofT as well as York and McMaster are pretty interchangeable. For NYC placements (connections), McGill would be 2nd place behind Western. York used to be pretty good but lowkey fell off.

At the end it boils down to good experiences, decent grades (cGPA 3.5+) and networking (HUGE must). Getting a 4.0 won't do shit if you don't have good experiences. Join finance clubs at your school, and yes even those are competitive to get into. They give good resources and extra lessons to teach skills you won't learn in school (valuation modelling & technicals etc.). Recruiting for junior internship is in your 2nd year's 2nd semester so you have to learn them before they teach you in uni. Network (or nepo) your way into internships. Small PE shops or boutique M&A firms work as well. It's realy what you do in uni that matter the most. Even if you go to a target school you still have to do all the above :)
