UNC Chapel Hill Undergrad - Major Advice

Hey WSO,

I've just finished my first semester at Carolina and I'm loving it so far. I've pledged a fraternity, gotten involved on campus, and kept my grades up pretty well. I'm having second thoughts, however, about my chosen major path. I had initially planned to apply to and take classes in the Kenan-Flagler business school here, but after my first semester of classes, I'm torn between that and a double major in applied math and computer science. I've really enjoyed the Math/CS classes I've taken so far, and my schedule for this semester is 3 classes for that and only one pre-req for the b school. My goal is to work in trading, but I don't consider that set in stone. All in all, which path do you think would be better? I feel confident in my ability to get into KF, and if I do that, I'd probably customize a second major that combined some of applied math, computer science, and physics in with a concentration in investments in the b school. Thanks in advance!
