<p>Let’s assume that Math + CS was a better option for becoming a Quant. Then why would someone, take bearcats for example, go through IOE to do the same thing. I don’t know what other programs he got into, but I would think someone who is in Engineering had other collegiate options, and chose to do IOE for a distinct reason.
I don’t see the point for going through the hassle of getting a double major when there is a program that seems to specifically cater to Fin.Eng. IOE aka FE-OR.</p>
<p>If there is some distinct advantage to doing a double major (Math+CS) it just has not become apparent to me yet.</p>
