Should I even bother applying to BU?

Hi,

I wanted to apply to BU as a transfer for 2025 fall after being rejected last admissions cycle, but I’ve really messed up my first semester as a Freshman. I really wasn’t in the right headspace and mental condition (which I realize isn’t an excuse), but I really wasn’t able to get the best grades or develop any relationships with my professors. I ended up with a 3.48 GPA, which is just the definition of ‘mid’. My classes were all huge, and I just really missed out on talking to my professors. I don’t think I’ll be able to get LORs for the deadline, considering that I’d have to get to know my current professors more and give them enough time to write one. I’ve been trying to be better this semester, but I just don’t think I can recover from such a horrible first semester.

Is it just doomed for me? Please be brutally honest, thank you.
