Is majoring in philosophy a disadvantage

I'm an incoming freshman at a top LAC (CMC/Middlebury/Bowdoin) probably a semi-target) and I want to recruit for IB or S&T. Originally I was planning on double majoring in math and Econ, but recently I've found an interest in philosophy and I was wondering whether doing math+philosophy will put me at a disadvantage over just math+econ?
