I'd say (i don't know how many you need)Forecasting, analysis of time, database, corporate, bayesian, computer, linear, dynamic - in that order. I am on trading floor in GS, and I'd say those are the most important, but honestly don't think it matters really much so go with what you like the most - and gets you the best grades!!!
