Much of it might depend upon what you wish to eventually pursue as an occupation, when you graduate
Biomedical Engineering has many possible minor combinations that you can pursue. I would check the university minor sections, to see what they offer.
A Public Health minor or Healthcare Leadership, would be a good option
Other Minors can include areas such as Chemistry, or Computer Science, Physics, Biology, Math or Statistics, or other combinations in the Natural Sciences or Health Science areas.
You will be assigned an advisor, when you get on the university campus, so I would also consult with that individual, because they will need to approve the combination that you eventually choose to pursue.

Hi Riya!
To choose a BME minor, consider what's available at your college and your career interests. Here are some popular options:
1) Electrical or Mechanical Engineering: Ideal if you're interested in healthcare robotics, like prosthetics, or creating automated hospital equipment.
2) Computer Science: Great for those who want to develop medical software programs.
3) Materials Science: Useful for working with biocompatible materials in the medical device industry, such as drug delivery systems.
4) Business or Entrepreneurship: Perfect if you're aiming for a role in engineering management.
5) Public Health or Health Sciences: Suitable for those interested in medical policy and healthcare systems.
I hope this helps you decide!
