Lol if this top LAC is Amherst/Midd/Bowdoin/William the only thing you have to worry about is acing your intro level micro and macro classes and you’ll be set. Relax bud

Go enjoy freshman year, maybe think about getting an internship around Feb/March for freshman summer. But it's not good to be a hardo who is just obsessed with finance. You can't even start networking until sophomore year, and as you've probably already figured out with your DCF, the technicals take approximately 2 weeks to learn so that will also be sophomore year.

TLDR; take a breather you have plenty of time
