What could this theater oriented junior do to improve for Columbia?

Perhaps I came off a little wrong saying economics was my back up, but I am genuinely interested in economics. Its just the fact I’m majoring in economics instead of theater (as opposed to the opposite way around) that’s my “back up”. I like economics in how a current economic situation can effect a business, and things of that nature. I’ve studied economics in my history course this year and find it really interesting. But, at a school like Columbia, they don’t have a strict “business” or finance major, thus making economics my step towards a business oriented graduate school (because I’m looking at mba/mfa schools. A little ahead of myself, I’m aware, lol but meh. Its what I want to do!). I’ve done my research in that economic majors at columbia end up more often on wall street than almost any other business program in the country. Thus, economics. Its a combination of interest, preference, and how it translates on my transcript later in my career! :)
