<p>You have an excellent chance.
If I were you, I would look forward to an acceptance letter.
That is, if your essay and "Why Columbia" aren't dreadful.</p>

<p>I got almost all 5s on my IB tests. but someone told me that they don't look at the individual scores, just making sure that I did the whole diploma.</p>

<p>you're lucky you have decent grades and sats scores, by columbia standards 5s on everything is pathetic, they usually take people with a 40/45 at least. if they find out that you did the IB and got in the low 30s it'll be a near certain rejection, the world average IB score is liek 30-31. So unless you have APs / great grade in a competitive school to show that you weren't focused on the IB and have other stuff to prove your academic worth.</p>

<p>alright thanks. my school realy does prepare you for the IB tests, and the spanish immersion program im in, has never had someone get lower than a 4 in either the oral or the written one, and im like 2nd in the class so i should be fine.
anything else?</p>
