Solid course choices. Unless you want to delve into high frequency trading and how such system work, some of the computing electives can be done without.
Same with the elective courses.
Make sure you have good grades on all the math courses required by quant programs (cal 1-3, linear algebra, probability, stochastic cal, etc).
Make sure you are really good with C++/Python/database.
