    Do I need a Minor to apply to DPT school?

    Will it look better on my application or do they solely focus on your prerequisites? I am about to start my minor in psychology this semester, but I am very nervous that I will not be able to keep my GPA up. Will having a minor give me a edge off of the other applicants?
