I just graduated as a bio major from BU, you seem to be a strong but fairly standard candidate. However, I think BU will likely like the fact that you’re applying ED. I also think that your strong clinical experience is definitely a plus, particularly for the human physiology program. I say go ahead and apply if BU is your dream school! Best of luck!
