I think you are better off to study theory first (math, science, physics) and after you get a solid education, you can decide where to apply it.

This is precisely why most universities teach theory for the first two years, and then you have electives moving forward. Each elective you take will help you understand what interests you.

There is nothing more important than a very solid math and science background. You cannot take "too much math" and it will help you in ways you cannot imagine now.
