Hello,
I will be attending Georgia Tech and have to make the choice between computer science and industrial engineering, so which one do you think is the best option?
My goal is to gain transferable skills for the industry, IB/PEand potentially fin-tech. Also, to have a good fallback plan ifIBdoesn't workout,going intoMBBfirst then doing anMBAand afterwards PE (skippingIBin this scenario).
Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated.

Business Administration is fine. You could minor in computational data analysis. Aim for a 4.0 GPA.
No need for computer science unless you want to be a quant.

This is bad information. Unless you are at a top target, all-else equal, top firms will always have a preference for those doingCS/Math/Stats rather than strictly econ. It shows that you are willing to take more intellectually demanding courses & at the very least you will have a more marketable skillset rather than a pure finance grad.
CSis not essential. You still have to get a high GPA with these hard STEM classes if you go that path, so there is a risk.
He could double major inCS+ Business optimally, but that is a hard path.

have siblings at GT. GT, like most tech-heavy engineering schools, is known to be pretty brutal with weeding kids out during entry-level classes. so take that for what it's worth. GT has the best industrial engineering program in the USA, and they do have a finance concentration of sorts under the major, but it's still pretty challenging workload wise and GPA-wise. personally, since it doesn't seem like you have any short-medium term goals to go into anything coding/engineering related, I would major in business and take any coding/ie classes on the side (maybe pick up a minor inCSor IE if u wanted to).
3.9 GPA Econ > 3.4 GPA STEM. Maybe as the spread closes this becomes less true.Don't underestimate how much more time consuming and difficult stem courses will be.
Edit: This is forIBrecruiting, obv SWE/Data Science/Quant etc require technical ability in stem fields.
Yeah, I understand the value of a high GPA but GaTech being a non-target forIB, I will have to stand out in one way or another. So majoring in econ/finance at GaTech I don't think is the best option, especially when its a tech school (I won't be able to compete with the econ kids from target schools). But doing engineering and having a 3.7/3.8+ gpa with a finance minor will, I hope, compensate for the non-targetness aspect.
大部分的孩子进入银行从GT是business majors. just do a quick linkedin search and you'll see
My impression - and I expect that of others - is that Georgia Tech is an excellent STEM/CSschool but isn't all that good for finance/econ/business. Ergo, majoring in STEM/CSmakes sense; you can always justify that finance wasn't your original plan but X happened and now...
I'd agree with your perspective that it's going to be a lot easier standing out as a STEM student from there than with a more directly related subject.
yes, exactly. Investing 200k in a tech school with #1 IE program and doing finance isn't very smart in my opinion. If I was at HYP or other targets then screw STEM, I would do econ or something less depressing. But I do like engineering and coding, so doing it at GaTech will give me a fighting chance fornycIB.
Just what do you think is better,CSor IE? I really like IE, butCSjust seems a little more versatile job wise.
CS可能是更多样化的但我认为IE艾尔so work. Pick whichever you'll do best in academically while still giving you enough time to recruit.
A high GPA will aid in you breaking into NYCIB, typically 3.8 - 4.0. The closer to 4.0, the better. And good internships.
If you have a 3.4 in IE, it might look fine for IE jobs, but less so forIBpositions, so if you sign up for the STEM major, you really need to be a rockstar, as the subjects are generally challenging to ace.
