Which looks more impressive for Trading/HF

I'm currently at Wharton. I would like to know which of the following major combinations looks the best for getting a job in trading or hedge fund work.

  1. Bachelor of science in economics with concentrations in finance and statistics+ minor in math+minor in computer science

2 Bachelor of science in economics with concentrations in finance and statistics+Bachelor of arts in Math

  1. Bachelor of science in economics with concentration in finance with a masters(through submatriculating in math) in mathematics.

thanks a lot for your help, I know it's not about the major but about the applicant and how well one does in interviews, but skills learned in a major do matter, so i'd like to know what u guys think is the best and why.

thanks so much.
