Help defining my path into Financial engineering and eventually into Investment Banking!

Hello, I am a freshman in college and i would like to become a banker one day. Could someone please advice me on what i should do first?

1) Should i double major in Finance and Software engineering, and double minor in Math and Accounting??

or

2) Should i double major in Finance and Economics, and double minor in math and software engineering?

I have planned both choices and i would take me about 5 years to complete everything (graduate) or 5.5 years with an internship?
