<p>Hey I'm curious as to my chances of admission to Columbia. I am applying ED, and I want to go to the school of engineering more than the regular college, but i'd be ecstatic with either...what do you think? For Engineering I have to submit 2 SAT 2's, my math II and chem, which are both alright, but for the regular college i could submit chem and history, my two highest. Other than that, I am pretty confident in my app! THanks for the help!</p>
<p>I am 2 of 270 in my class in a public high school from an affluent town in connecticuit, and while my grades are very good, my SAT scores are worrying me...</p>
<p>Rank: 2
SAT best 1470 (730 on verbal, 740 on math)
SAT total 2250 (800 on writing)
SAT Subject tests
Biology = 720
Chemistry = 750
Math 2 = 710
History = 760
(Columbia requires a math and a science subject test for engineering)</p>
<p>I took 4 AP classes my junior year, AP LIT, STAT, CHEM, and US HISTORY and got 5's on each exam, and I took AP BIO my sophmore year and also got a 5</p>
<p>I am taking an all AP schedule this year, with physics, french, english, calculus bc, and european history</p>
<p>I am captain of varsity track and varsity ice hockey (I don't know if this is applicable, but I hold school record in high hurdles)</p>
<p>I know that I have fantastic teacher recs</p>
<p>I have a very well written college essay</p>
<p>I won a regional character award, was a national merit semi finalist, run a summer book club, am founder and president of a table tennis/badminton club, write for the school newspaper, won the regional JETS competition with my school team, mock trial lawyer, and whatever other minor extras I do...</p>
<p>I am a white male from an affluent family, so I don't think that is a plus either...</p>
<p>Give me a brutally honest opinion, and thank you very much.</p>
