<p>Visited campus today with information session
my high school: last year 23 applied, 0 got in. year before 24 applied, 2 got in</p>
<p>thinking of majoring in polysci and international relations, or chemistry, applying to CC</p>
<p>Race and region would be very helpful to know, though your EC’s look pretty solid. Your SAT II’s also look pretty good - they only take top 2 so 790 / 770 are very nice.</p>
<p>SAT I could be a bit higher. I like your AP Exam test scores. Your GPA is also pretty good.</p>
<p>Another thing to consider is how you compare with the other people from your school, because the same admissions officer will read all of the apps.</p>
<p>I’d say that Columbia is a reach for you - though you definitely have a shot.</p>
<p>Race: Indian (which i doubt works in my favor…)
Gender: Girl
Region: nassau county, long island
School: pretty competitive school with bad track record for columbia
2010: 23 applied, 0 got in (1 into Barnard)
2009: 24 applied, 2 got in… (while 3 got into Harvard, 1 yale, 3 princeton)</p>
<p>Seven ivies from one public school I think is amazing, the fact you are a girl I believe helps you, class rank is something else that could be helpful. Honestly I think if you manage to break the 200 barrier on your SAT score, your chances at being admitted to Columbia will be very good.</p>
