Major/Minor dilemma

Im an international freshman at a top target who is currently studying economics. I know that usually for finance jobs they dont care too much about your major but then again I do feel like they prefer stem students with math-y hard sciencey majors. i was thinking of getting a minor in "statistics and machine learning" to make my resume stand out more from the gazillion econ majors and sound more impressive but i wouldnt wanna end up risking a good gpa/easy a's over it. As an international student please keep in mind I do have higher stakes, but still please let me know what you advise I should do considering you have more knowledge than me.
