I would make sure to mention the hardship you faced your freshman year, and how you ended up overcoming it and doing well in your personal statement.

For the rest of your time in college try not to have any more withdrawals and keep doing well in your classes.

As long as you do all the required prerequisites, your major doesn't matter that much. I personally enjoyed my psychology minor because I think it will help me when I work with patients in the future though.

Of course, you have to have volunteering experience and a good DAT as well, so it's too early to know if you can get into NYU or Stonybrook.

Just keep up your grades and you'll be ok. Good luck!
