Here was my score breakdown:

Perceptual Ability: 20
Quantitative Reasoning: 28
Reading Comprehension: 26
Biology: 18
General Chemistry: 23
Organic Chemistry: 21
Total Science: 20
Academic Average: 23

I know that my overall score isn't bad, but my bio section is a bit in the grey area. What are your thoughts on that issue?

My overall GPA is a roughly 3.65, my science GPA is a hair under 3.6, and my BCP GPA is a hair under 3.5.
 
You are good. An 18 in bio won't be a problem especially with your AA and gpa. Just to give you an example I have a 17 QR and I have gotten interview.
 
I have an 18 bio and got interviews from Columbia and penn! Don’t feel discouraged. You have a great overall score & scores in individual sections.
 
My target school is University of Michigan, since I am a Michigan resident (hence, this option would be financially best for me).
 
I have almost the exact same breakdown (high everything else, low bio /19) and received plenty of interviews this cycle. Just be sure to apply broad and you'll be great.
