Minors don’t matter unless it somehow represents a continuity of your application. For example, lets say you write you personal statement about wanting to go into public health. Having a minor in public policy (or whatever), along with appropriate extra-curriculars, can strengthen your argument. By itself, not a big deal. I would never recommend getting a minor out of hope it will boost your application. There are many more efficient ways to do say than taking a semester or two worth of courses.

Also, when I think of psych and pre-med, I don’t think unique. It’s a fine major though.
