the other posters covered your questions basics, but im going to try to explain something to you about doubling with business.

first off, i’m sure you’re intelligent if you even consider doubling in bus/appmath. but everyone at carolina’s at least not stupid, and of those not stupid people not everyone is accepted to the school of business, which you must apply to for an undergrad major. having one of the best MBA program’s in the country leads a lot of majorless wanderer’s to choose business, which has made it more difficult to get into. remember that.

also, all business classes are taken at the kenan-flag business school, waaaay down south campus. youll be an upper classmen by the time this even matters, so that walk will be a frickin *****. busi 100 and busi 101 are only offered in the early morning and evening, so planning a schedule around that is a challenge. and then, once your a junior, the business school begins to swallow your life a bit, requiring presentations, putting on suits, etc…

and applied mathematics is, uh, hard. what im driving at here is that you shouldnt major in business if you dont reeeeally want to go to business grad school. even then, its common knowledge that an undergrad business degree isnt all that useful for an MBA program anyway, since its designed for people with no business background. pure academics aside, youre looking at a lot of out-of-class work, not limited to a metric **** ton of walking, awkward hours, painful scheduling, plus having a normal life.
