I’m applying to a lot of reach schools and because I am interested in pursuing science, I’m worried that my test scores are not good enough. Luckily, I am more interested in organismal biology (ie ecology and evolutionary biology) than the more competitive molecular side of biology.
If I only got a 4 on the Biology AP Test and a 30 on the math section of the ACT, should I apply to colleges with a biology major or should I apply with a arts/humanities/english major and just switch majors if I get into the college? I did manage to get a 5 on the United States History AP test and A’s in all related classes at school. Here are some of my statistics if it’ll help answer my question! Thank you!
