Transfer from Penn to Brown? Also, Applied Math?

Firstly, I'm considering transferring to Brown from Penn CAS (a lot of reasons). Is this a reasonable move? If it'll hurt my prospects significantly, I won't do it, but I think I would like Brown more (open curriculum, more relaxed, less IB competition). Thoughts?

Secondly, does it matter whether I major in straight up Applied Math or Applied Math - Econ (i.e. econ with harder math courses). I want to work FO, preferably IB.

I think I'd prefer just straight applied math, but if it'll make banks look at me as a quant then I'm fine with the econ one too.

Thank you!
