My DS is at a public ivy and is double majoring in applied math and philosophy. He is attending the one weeks sessions at two quant firms this spring. He is a sophomore.

It’s much more helpful to take apples math coursework as a lot of pure math (topology, number theory, complex analysis) are more helpful for scientific research/mathematical research, but that may not be the most beneficial if you aren’t seeking a graduate degree.
On the other hand, a student who does well in pure math can learn applications on the side easily.
