<p>I have been in a similar situation for a while now. I was accepted today to UCLA for math/econ but engineering is still in the back of my mind. The applied math/science major is still open to me if I choose to switch to it since I have taken the required physics courses. It’s good to know my options are still open.</p>
<p>Are you interested in economics? Do you like proof-based math (note: This is very different from the applied math that engineers use)? Have you taken linear algebra or discrete math? These are two proof-based classes that might indicate whether or not you would like the upper division math courses you’ll be taking after you transfer.</p>
<p>Math/econ definitely qualifies you for the same jobs as econ majors, with math giving you an edge over them. Here’s a link to career information for certain majors from UC Berkeley. It does not have math/econ, but you can check out the applied math/math/economics careers for an idea of what you can do.

<p>Also, here’s a topic from someone who graduated in math/econ from UCLA that you may find interesting:
