Undergraduate Computational Finance (Financial Engineering) at Carnegie Mellon for BBs?

Hello guys. What do you think of comp finance at CMU? It's literally the top school for this field and the placements are amazing. Almost everyone went right to the BBs. What makes this program even more amazing is that it's offered at the undergraduate level to a select few (10-15 ppl a year) as a major. Do you think it would be worth pursing this over an Econ major with a minor in finance/math?
