Can you look over this please?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>Okay...so my academic record is wacky. I have NO idea what Columbia (or any school really...) will think about it.
here it is!
Grades:
9th grade: I got As/A-s in all my classes except for B+'s Freshman Bio, Music Theory, and Art
10th grade: I got straight As.
11th grade: straight As with an A- in art
12th grade: currently straight As</p>

<p>That means my GPA is:
3.5ish for Freshman year
then a 4.0
4.0
4.0
3.83 gpa
Decent right? Well, think again...unfortunately I go to a super competitive private school that ranks for no reason whatsoever so I'm ranked 10/50. That's a problem. </p>

<p>My test scores are wacky too!!! Oh, joy...
ACT: 34 reading, 36 english, 32 math, 29 science---33 composite
SAT: 680 CR, 780 Math, 760 Writing--2220 total</p>

<p>My SAT reading is low, but ACT reading is high and my SAT math is high but my ACT math is lower. </p>

<p>How are colleges (including Columbia) going to look at all of this stuff? I'm obviously concerned with my rank, but really, do I look competent enough?</p>

<p>I think you are fine. The competitive nature of your school will be taken into account and your test scores are strong. I wouldn’t stress too much. I really don’t think your stats are all that wacky at all.</p>

<p>the only thing i think is a little “weird” is that you’re only in the top 20% with your amazing grades. but colleges will look at that as your school being insanely smart, not you being stupid.</p>

<p>Assuming you also have solid extracurriculars, I would say you have a good shot at most top schools (your scores look fine).</p>
