Should I even bother applying to BU?

Not to jump in on a small point but fyi the saying is “C’s get degrees” not B’s. I only call it out because there is already such grade inflation and pressure in this world and suggesting the “even a grade as low as a B” allows one to graduate (which is the point of the saying — if you get C’s you’ll still graduate) feels like it’s feeding a national obsession with A’s at all costs.
OP — I’ll share that I got a 2.0 my first semester freshman year after a brief stint thinking I wanted to be pre-med but ended up getting an MBA from a t-20 and a second grad degree at an Ivy. So no you are not doomed.
