Does bioconvergence get a lot of applicants?

idk. i’m american and i have a 4.25 gpa but i didn’t take that many ap classes (only chem during my senior year) and my extracurriculars are pretty mid because i had an illness for all of high school that kind of limited what i did. i had an exec position on premed club, was a full time caretaker for two elderly family members for grades 9-11 and i am a nationally registered emergency medical technician but i haven’t been able to actually work as an emt as it would endanger other people if i were to do so before i was healthy/strong enough. i completed the 200 hours of training and passed the national exam but i don’t want to put other people in danger by working before i’m at my healthiest. i have a 740 english sat and 660 sat. i wanted to get a higher math score but i didn’t have time to study because my condition makes it hard for me to stay awake long enough to do much besides schoolwork. i feel like my application talked about my condition too much even though i meant it in a positive way. i also got held back a year in 9th grade but it didn’t affect my gpa since it was because i was sick. i wrote my essay on how my difficulties getting diagnosed and treated made me when to major in bioconvergence and study diagnostic processes and biotechnology but i’m afraid my application will look lame like i have nothing else going for myself besides a sob story even though i tried to paint everything in a positive light.

like will they rescind me over this i’m scared because i usually get more As and A+s
