Good Major/Double Major combination?

Hi everyone,

I am a second year transfer who left IU Kelley to attend UVA in state, but will not be applying to McIntire because it would be impossible to do all the prereqs in one year. I initially was going to try an Econ major, but now I’ve been thinking of majoring Or even double majoring in something Quantitative like Stats/Math/CS. I am taking summer courses right now that would apply for any of the majors, but what major/double major would you recommend? I would like to break into IB, but I want to end up at a macro hedge fund.
