I think you would want to look at the course description to see what is missing from each course that the other one is offering. From a recruiter point of view, corporate finance is corporate finance, I doubt they will scrutinize your transcript (if they even request one). It's more of the knowledge you learned from the media course that might help you gain an advantage (or not) in interviews with media companies. Just my 2 cents. We will find out more in bschool :) hum, that’s a tough one. I think you would want to look at the course description to see what is missing from each course that the other one is offering.

I would like more thoughts on 4th point...would you take a very specialized course or a more generic course on a subject though. I guess things will unfold slowly and become intuitive automatically.

I predict the same thing with recruiting, it's not really what course title or major, but more of the skills you acquire and how you make a case for the fit for the positions. But would be interested in students opinions also :) I am obviously no expert in answering these questions, but from what I heard at DAK, Kellogg students don’t really care what major they choose and just take the courses that they want to take and interests them, the major stuff will fall into places.
