If you apply to graduate school in computational biology, it will help to have the biology courses you’d get in the comp bio minor, in addition to your math coursework. I’d recommend checking the graduate admissions requirements for graduate programs that might interest you, or inquiring of profs regarding whether coursework in an area of application vs. just math courses will make a big difference. It’s somewhat of a trade-off—somewhat stronger math background vs. coursework in an area of application.
