do i have any chance at all...?</p>

<p>It's possible, you do have a lot of ECs. I'd suggest you check out the Columbia board. One of the thread lists a bunch of people's stats and ED accepts/defers/rejects. It'll help give you an idea of where you stand.</p>

<p>reg: 20% in, 80% not in
ed: 25% in, 75 % not in</p>

<p>(main reasons = poor sat ii scores, no hook, 3.56 gpa? that's gonna hurt, an "okay" sat i score, if everything else was good then the 1390 wouldn't stand out, but my friend i don't think you have a good chance at columbia, think more nyu early decision, tufts early decision, etc)</p>

<p>engineering or college? that makes a difference. Of course, I'll assume college, and you have a chance depending on how you portray your activities in the limited EC space they give you.</p>

<p>you have an ok shot...i mean all of your numbers are mediocre for columbia but your ec's seem good. Why didnt you apply early?</p>

<p>Do take a look at the Columbia ED postings. I'm afraid I did not see a soul accepted with an SAT in the 1300s, and there were many exceptional kids deferred. Good luck!</p>

<p>you have a chance.</p>

<p>There were several people with 1300s accepted. There were also people with 1500s and a 3.9x GPA who were flat-out rejected (myself included). You have a shot, but I wouldn't be on it. Columbia doesn't seem to be one of those schools that place major emphasis on athletes and athletic achievements, unless you are being recruted. (I played football and lacrosse)</p>
