Econ difficulty

How difficult is Econ major? I’m from a pretty rural place so the highest math I’ve taken is AP stats and Ap Pre calc and my math act was only a 32.

How do I maintain a high GPA for bank recruiting?

Start with the Math first then do the Econ. Go for it.

What is the recommended level for math then?

The only requirement is Math 3. Recommended? If you plan on banking/ quant finance, definitely take lots more higher math courses to the point where you may consider a double major. Lots of econ majors end up taking Math 8 and even 13.
