Fwiw, if you’re seriously interested in marketing, at some point you’ll want an MBA, and for an MBA schools will want to see some decent quant skills. You’re going to need more than Intro Statistics.

As to major, it really doesn’t matter; business schools will be looking at students from all sorts of academic backgrounds. If nothing else, use your first year to sample courses from several different departments. It’s actually pretty rare that someone knows what they’re going to major in from the moment they step on campus and then actually goes on to do so.

My D considered Classics, Bio, and English as possible majors…did a double in Government and Math with several courses in Econ. Invested in two semesters of Latin before coming to the conclusion that she wasn’t going to do Classics. (Had to take the year-long course first year just to keep the option open.)
