Bump plz

I’m applying to Columbia too! Not ED, but sometime soon. I’d say your chances are about as good as they could be. Meaning, it’s still a reach, but I don’t see any area where your application is lacking. One thing that does stick out to me is that I would expect you to want to pursue a hard science based on your ECs, but if you’re able to connect that to your intended major in your essay, that could make more sense. I’m curious, though - you retook the SAT with a 2300? :slight_smile:
Would you mind taking a look at my thread as well? We have very different interests but I’m also applying to Columbia.

Honestly your application looks pretty good The only thing you need now is amazing essays. And since you are doing economics, maybe try fitting in more ECS and leadership that have to do with the actual major.I’ll be going to Columbia next fall. Hope to see you there.
