Hello Everyone!
I’ve checked many BSMD threads and realized it’s very competitive! I really want to be accepted into BSMD programs but my stats are not as strong as others and I will be competing against people with perfect stats. It doesn’t help that I’m Indian (born and raised in America Illinois) I need a lot of advice, such as what EC’s I should do for the upcoming 3 years and I’ll need advice, in general, to raise my chances to get accepted in a BSMD program!
Here are my stats:

Looking to bring UW GPA up to 3.9+

May I please have some advice on what to do to get accepted by a BSMD program? I know it’s early but I don’t want to wait and do something that can mess up my chances! I know it’s very hard to get accepted but I’m really pushing myself to have the best possible chances! Thank you very much, this means a lot to me and I’m looking forward to hearing your guys responses!!
