Have a history teacher write my rec letter about how I showed tremendous effort and improvement throughout my junior year

One of the reasons for my somewhat poor GPA is constantly devoting more time to my business rather than school work

Intended Major - Business (Undecided) or Computer Engineering

CU Boulder has become very popular in the last few years so your chances for Computer Engineering with your gpa are honestly low. I’d go for Business instead.
