nbafan, undergrad finance degree is overrated unless it is from Wharton in which case it is highly regarded more for the kind of student in the program than for the program itself. It is easier to teach finance to a math major than the opposite, so go for math and comp sci and probability. Sure, take some corporate finance courses but you are better off with the toughest and most advanced CS and math courses you can excel in, the risk management firms and hedge funds etc are looking for top math brains, the Olympiad winners or the CS brains and not for finance people per se.
