<p>asian girl- California</p>

taking all the possible APs at school ranked top 3% large public school
unweighted gpa: 3.94 weighted: 4.5 (two B's in AP us hist., A's everythign else will those two B's hurt?)

<p>part time job at ivyreview- tutoring students
various state awards for my EC's (decent, solid ECs) nothing too interesting...
Columbia- summer bio research program
great recs</p>

<p>You stand a good shot at the school. You are obviously bright. What are your EC's and writing skills? The essay is extremely important at Columbia.</p>

<p>Best of luck to you.</p>

<p>basically business fbla finalists a couple times at states and sections, completed level 10 piano, 200+ hours of rotary volunteering, debate finalist a couple of times, part time job, summer programs, some leadership positions (VP) of major clubs on campus yea nothing too exciting :/</p>

<p>your numbers certainly qualify you. in fact, there's not really any need to take the SAT again, as i see it, though i doubt it could hurt to do so. just make sure the more subjectively evaluable (is that a word? who cares..) parts of your application are really exceptional-- then you're golden. the catch is, of course, that making your essay, etc., stand out is really not quite as simple as it might seem.</p>
