<p>Wow. I think you definitely have a chance. Are you interested in writing/language mostly? That's the first impression I got. your SATs and SAT IIs are sort of on the lower side, but hopefully, they shouldn't count as much. And I know that Columbia, Brown, and Cornell base their desicions more on you as a person than on your scores. So GL!</p>

<p>(I think you're competitive at HYP, and the rest. Now it's based on luck).</p>
