Benefits of double majoring in Finance and Statistics?

Hello everyone,

I am in the midst of officially declaring my major in my university (semi-target). Although I am dead set on studying finance, I am still ambivalent in pursuing an additional major in statistics because I need to risk getting a lower GPA than I would have just majoring in finance. Do IBs take this into account while screening my resume and do they even care that I am doing a double major in finance and statistics? Do you think this will differentiate myself from other people? Any response is well appreciated!

Thanks!
