Thinking about switching majors

I’m currently an econ major in SAS. However, I’m not sure if thats what I want to major in anymore. I’ve been looking at it and it seems like Systems might be a better major for me. I’m interested in econ and business, but the thing I feel like I’m missing is more math and programming. I’m feel that Systems might be a better major. However, it seems like a ton to switch to SEAS after completing two years at Penn. It’s tough for engineers to graduate in 4 years after they hit the ground running, so it’ll probably be impossible for me to do all of that in 2 years right?

Here’s what I have so far:
All of the AFE requirements (econ 101, econ 102, acct 101)
Physics 140 with AP credit so I still need to take the lab
Math 104-240
Stat 430-431
Chem 101-102
All of my SS and H requirements
My Free Electives

It seems like I could catch up next year if I load up on ESE and physics both semesters
Is this worth it? Is there an easy way to see if I’m better fitted for this major or for Econ?
