Prospective major: molecular biology

UW GPA: 3.3

W GPA: 3.5

Dual enrollment GPA at my community college: 3.5

Course rigor: 3 honors, 2 APs, and 3 community college classes so far (6 APs by the time I graduate high school)

SAT: won’t be submitting any score to my test-optional schools unless I score above a 1500 in august

Extracurriculars:

  • summer earth science internship program w/ 9% acceptance rate
  • summer research intern at a clinical lab where I conducted DNA and enzyme research with a mentor
  • science fairs, online science competitions both at the global and national level (won a small award for an online global comp)
  • team leader for biology contest that I participated in with a group of students
  • founded a climate change and ocean preservation nonprofit my sophomore year and I have been running it ever since
  • co-founder and secretary of a club at my high school aiming to de-stigmatize mental health
  • band for 3 years
  • speech and debate for 3 years and am currently a captain
  • was selected to be an outreach committee member of a hepatitis b organization for 2 years

A 3.3 UW GPA would make BU a reach, unless you are able to show a high SAT/ACT score. Your chances would be better if you choose the CGS option.
