It seems late to be changing majors, but if you did decide to go the route of changing majors you would probably be better off adding on another major instead of dropping IE completely.There are so many applicants (both domestic and international) for MFE programs hoping to break into quant finance that you need to consider that it may not work out. If you go to a top program then you will probably get a job, but not necessarily doing what you want. So the issue is getting into a top MFE program.What about your profile makes you stand out as different from the next applicant? How can you compete with an applicant that double majored in math/computer science with a 4.0 GPA, 800Q on GRE, and a relevant finance internship?Don't let me discourage you. You need to be able to answer the above to not only get into a top program but also get a great job.</blockquote>
