Quant finance

Hey what's up,Im a senior in high school right now and looking to go into quant finance or maybe IB. I am prob going to Penn State and majoring in computer engineering as of right now. Does anyone think that this degree is solid for a bachelors in this field or should I do something else in the engineering department. After college, I do plan on getting a masters in financial engineering. Thanks
