Advice for choosing major

I’m applying to the University of Amsterdam and because I have to choose a major for the next 4 years, I was wondering what major would be best, if I am looking to work in Investment Banking after graduation. My plan is to attend a prestigious school in Europe, so I can stand out when applying for an MBA back in the United States. Which would be better for undergraduate studies? Business AdministrationEconomics and Business Economics Any and all input is greatly appreciated, thank you.
