Planning for a future career as a Quantitative Developer/Analyst; I am applying to a top school for my undergrad studies and am having some trouble deciding what to major in.
I have narrowed down the programs for which I though were most relevant, and included a few EE based programs considering it is an interest to me as well.
Of the following programs, what would you suggest be the best path before applying for a MFE?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

CS Tracks:
  1. General 4 Year Track in Computer Science
  2. Machine Learning and Data Analysis Program in Computer Science
  3. Software Engineering
  4. Computer Engineering
Joint CS programs:
  1. Computer Science and Mathematics
  2. Information Systems Engineering
EE Tracks:
  1. Computer and Software Engineering
  2. Computer Engineering
 
My 2 cents.
Mathematics (pure and applied).
CS (I prefer the terms 'programming') can be learned on-the-jobs and is a follow-on from maths.

A combined degree in CS and maths is probably sub-optimal.
