Sounds like a solid combination to me.
You may get a few snickers from immature people when you tell them you are a philosophy major (or any liberal arts major for that matter), but it's actually a very rigorous field of study and I daresay that the boundaries between the formal logical reasoning you will develop in philosophy can and often overlap with formal mathematical logic.
You will develop critical thinking skills (of course, every liberal arts major claims to develop this, but in the case of philosophy, I think it is unquestionable), develop strong writing skills, and if anyone still has any doubts, you can always point towards the economics component of the major as well as your minor in computer science.
Agree with all points made here - but as the saying goes of UofC - That’s All Well and Good in Practice, But how does it work in theory?
Having studied Econ at UofC, it will be extremely rigorous by itself. Throw in phil reading (hundreds of pages a week) and the minor in CS, which is no joke, and then throw in your 25 hours a week of problem sets for the econ/math requirements, and you are looking at a nightmare course load. However, you may very well be that "that kid" and posses a supernatural ability to do homework for 4 years straight.
As yeahright said, you can absolutely take courses at Booth - which I would highly recommend (financial accounting, corp fin, etc)
good luck
Try to take some courses at Booth if you can while you attend undergrad, I'm pretty sure it is allowed barring some requirements. Just a couple to show you are a boss.
Econ at Chicago is mad legit.
I know a lot of people look down at a minor in CS (some of the top colleges in that field don't even allow a minor, because they view it as too incomplete). It's true, though... taking 6 classes in CS doesn't give you enough knowledge to do much in the field, either theoretical or applied.
OP is going to end up with a 3.1 and whine incessantly when it comes time to apply to MBA programs.
hahah philo and econs is 1 major though..so it isnt a double major...but agreed...the courseload might be too rigorous
