Trying to break into prop shops

The thing is I’m an Econ major at a uni like CMU. While I love Econ, it’s not for me and I’m looking into switching. The thing is you need a certain gpa to switch as a math major. CMU math is really phenomenal like the recruitment from the math and cs clubs is insane and while I’m in there and getting exposure and referrals I’m jusr wondering how bad a situation would it be for me if I stay in Econ or go into stat ml.
