OP is going to Stanford undergrad. You should start calculating your chances of a career at GS around the time you have been accepted to a top-10 MBA school.
According to this page, three graduates with a Mathematical & Computational Sciences degree (an undergraduate degree similar to CS) work at financial institutions: JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. Keep in mind that these are graduates from the class of 2011, so they’ve only been out of school for 2 years; and the degree program only has about 15 graduates per year, so three alumni make a sizable fraction.
What I’m trying to say is, it’s probably feasible to get a job in finance with only an undergraduate degree from Stanford.

It is, but you’ll get an undergrad kind of a job.
JPMorgan has 260,000 employees. The compensation expense in 2012 was about $30.5 billion which means the average total compensation (including bonuses, etc.) was about $117K per employee.
That’s a nice salary but seems to be roughly similar to what doctors make.
