Hi! I’m a rising sophomore at BU, also pre-med (my major is biology CMG). So your scores and GPA are a little on the low end, especially since I know admissions are trying to lower their acceptance rates to make BU seem more competitive (2017 was 29%, my year was 22%, the incoming freshman class this year was 18%), so I’d definitely apply ED if I were you to express interest. On the plus side, you have an awesome list of extracurriculars!! Focus on those, make sure your passion comes through. And (unless they changed it) one of the essays on the commonapp is why you want to go to BU, so make sure you have really good, specific answers. Look up clubs and activities, talk about what you’re excited about. Honestly knowing that ahead of time would probably help a lot if you get accepted too; campus is huge and there are so many things that you can do that it’s so easy to get lost. Personally, I wouldn’t apply as an engineering major if you’re going to do premed, engineering is hard enough as is and the school of engineering is harder to get into that CAS. Good luck, I think you have a pretty decent shot!
