applied math + econ vs econ vs econ + classics

Matriculating to Brown next year and because of the curriculum, I have some flexibility in my choice of major. Which major choice is best for breaking into IB? I am only including classics in the choice because I do love studying classics, but I feel applied math is far more useful in the finance world.
