What major do I put on my resume?

I'm going to be a junior next year and I'm planning on changing majors from Econ to Computer Science. I want to take a fifth year in college and haven't finished all the prereqs to change majors. I've would have only taken 2 CS courses by the time SA recruiting comes (but can still graduate on time). For SA recruiting should I put my major as Econ or CS?

Just call it your major. You could even get away with calling it a "double major: Econ & CS." They cannot verify, and it is theoretically possible for you to do it. Later on, you can "change your mind," after you have gotten an SA offer.
