Not to be a downer haha but apply widely. Your ECs are pretty amazing so you will have a great shot at any program if you reach the interview stage and can talk about those medical ECs well. Some programs you can look into include SLU, Temple, Albany med programs, Miami, UMKC, and Drexel.

In terms of BU, your GPA and ACT may be on the lower end. I generally go with a ballpark UW GPA of 3.80+ with the most rigorous curriculum offered and a SAT of 2250+ (ACT 34+) as sort of a benchmark after which your ECs, if really strong, can pull you through to the interview stage even if you’re not a 3.95, 2350 applicant (which is who you’re going to be competing against). Lower than that and you better have some really great hook as to what makes you an awesome candidate.
