Application

<p>HI I am wondering if I can get into Columbia with what i currently have got. Currently my GPA is 5.25 and based on what my scores are now my SAT for next year will definitely be above 2050 ( I am in tenth grade). However I do have certain things on my resume that may give me leverage. </p>

<p>Out of School
1. I am the founder of a tech startup
2. I am a private stco investor and venture capitalist.
3. I have interned in many companies </p>

<p>In School
A. I am in BPA (Business professionals america)
B. I am in DECA
C. KIVA (microbanking)
D. Stock Investing
E. Coppell Geographic Society (believe me its not as lame as it sounds)
F. Film
G. Debate </p>

<p>Leadership
-About 3 leadership position in my clubs
-Founder and CEO of my company
- In the process of becoming Co-founder and CEO of a non-profit that's almost ready to start </p>

<p>By the End of High School I will have taken either 14 AP's or 2 AP's and IB </p>

<p>I am also good with generally public speaking and persuasion. </p>

<p>With this basic summary I want to know is it realistic for me to aim for Columbia, and possibly other Ivy league schools. Is it realistic for me to aim for UT Austin? But I am extremely passionate about Columbia and it has been my goal since 8 grade. I am currently a sophomore. </p>

<p>Depending on your GPA and if you can raise your SAT scores, you definitely sound like a solid candidate, but as people here will tell you, you don’t really know until you apply and many qualified candidates are rejected. I think you have a great chance at UT especially if you’re in-state.</p>

<p>yea i am in state</p>
