I’m currently a high school junior. I’ve never really sought advice on where I stand in the college admissions process before, so I’m reaching out to anyone who’s willing to offer feedback. Since I’m a junior, this might be pretty general. Any feedback is helpful, so I appreciate anyone who replies. I’m applying to Columbia University ED for the Class of 2023.
