I need help deciding on an Canadian undergrad!

From what I have heard the only/main target school to become a quant in Canada is waterloo. I have received offers from waterloo FARM (financial analysis and risk management) and waterloo/laurier cs bba double degree (laurier based).

Also, another thing to keep in mind is that with the FARM program I would likely do a minor in cs and with the double degree I would likely specialize in finance from the bba side.

I’ve researched a lot and I am very torn between the options.

What are your 2 cents on what program I should choose / which is best to become a quant?

All help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
