Admissions Advice

Would it help for me to minor in music to boost my chances of admission?

Hello!! I'm a junior thinking about how to increase my chances of getting into some great schools for my intended major, entrepreneurship. My biggest extracurricular is definitely piano, I've studied for over a decade, participated in many competitions/performances, won some great awards, got a 5 on the AP Music Theory exam, etc. I joined a music-based community service club at school and will likely apply for leadership in it in May, soonest time I'm allowed to. As you can see, I'm quite passionate about it! I'm not planning on any sort of career or degree in music, but I've had multiple people tell me if I apply to college with my minor as music that will increase my chances of acceptance. I definitely don't mind studying music or music theory in college, so is this true?
