You go to princeton dude, you'll be fine no matter what you chose. Pick what interests you most and make sure you join the investment club/finance club or whatever you guys do in New Jersey.

Princeton is all that matters. Between the degrees it really doesn't matter so long as you show interest in finance. However ORFE is more math intensive and requires you to take physics. If you are on a straight path towards finance I wouldn't recommend this simply because it'll most likely lower your GPA.

Econ seems like the easier degree and the one that you can do better in.
