If Nursing is your first choice, apply to Nursing. Ask your GC to explain your schedule issues in his/her rec. That way YOU don’t make it look like an excuse. IMO, the lack of AP sciences is not an issue. What could be an issue is the lack of ECs and commitment to health care/community service. Health care adcoms need to feel comfortable that students have dipped their toe in the water and know what they are getting into – and won’t faint at the first sight of blood.

All colleges love diversity, so such an essay can be well received., particularly at a school like BC.

Good luck.
