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 name it "focus area" or "intended major".
Yes, put "intended major" also, you should be listing some relevant classes so they should see a solid Econ background regardless
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.
