<p>Hey! 97 gpa unweighted. Sat 2240.On reading I got 740, math 760, writing 760. I want to go to Columbia.What are my chances?</p>
<p>Your scores and GPA won’t keep you out, but they don’t get you in either.</p>
<p>What extracurricular activities have you done? What do you usually spend your summers doing? What makes you… YOU? :)</p>
<p>I bike for charity but don’t really have time to do so much ECs. I’m only a junior so maybe you can suggest awesome activities to do the rest of the year to get me in</p>
<p>Well, what are you interested in? Science? Humanities?</p>
<p>I want to go into finance or business. I like science a lot though</p>
<p>Suggestions:</p>
<p>Start your own business?
Take AMC/USAMO/IMO?</p>
<p>i dont see you getting in based on just those scores</p>
<p>your sat scores add up to 2260…</p>
<p>you have a 97 unweighted GPA? Am i missing something or is that abnormally big?</p>
<p>^Some schools’ GPAs are on an 100 point scale.</p>
<p>Your EC’s are subpar, your SAT average and your GPA good (I assume 97 is an A or A+ GPA, so a 4.0 UW)? How many AP’s have you taken (and how many does your school offer)? Are you a URM?
Based on just those statistics, I don’t see you getting in unless you write really, really amazing essays. From what I understand, you’re somewhat underqualified, but you do still have a (very) small chance.</p>
<p>Also, the SAT scores you posted do indeed add up to 2260</p>
<p>Your lack of ECs make you slightly less competitive than the average folk. However, don’t sweat it. You’re better off writing a stellar essay about the time you’ve dedicated to charity rather than pile on a huge load of activities that will make you sink and feel swamped and unhappy. On the other hand, if you have some spare time, I recommend you go check out whatever piques your interest. Keep your horizons open! You never know what you might find.</p>
