<p>Please put these in order:</p>
<p>pure math, applied math (financial engineering), econ, finance, others</p>
<p>All of those are good. Choose the one in which you’ll get the highest GPA. Also consider double-majoring: applied math and econ, for example, would be a good combination.</p>
<p>It depends on the school you attend. If you are attending a non-target, then I’d go with either the finance or econ (or a double with math). If you are attending a semi-target or target school whose business school is the target (NYU Stern, for example), then make sure to take on a major within the B school and I’d probably take econ, but don’t shy away from math and finance/accounting courses. If you are attending a target without a business u grad school, I’d go with econ or math. </p>
<p>In any case, you can’t go wrong with econ or finance and math is generally a safe bet as well. As far as coursework goes, you should definitely take an accounting class and a finance class or 2. </p>

<p>Thank for your response.</p>
<p>Actually I go to UTokyo. (I’m Japanese).
It’s said that it’s the best school in Japan.
I think I’m going to major in “mathematical engineering” that’s kinda
applied math to learn financial engineering from the junior year.
But I’m wondering if I should major in econ.</p>
<p>My plan for now is; liberal arts (~2nd grade) ->applied math (~4th)
-> finance (I hope to go to UPenn) -> get job </p>
<p>Please tell me what you think I should do other than getting good grades.</p>
<p>Get some good experience via internships.</p>
