Chance me - Columbia ED

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University
1

I am a high school senior and I already ED’d to Columbia just for the heck of it but in the process I realized I am in LOVE with this school

I have an 89 average because I slacked my freshman and sophomore year very hard

I have a 1340 on the SAT because I am a bad test taker but I just took the recent ACT and sent it in blindly

I run a non profit which we teach underprivileged kids entrepreneurial skills and start businesses

This past summer I created , me and a group of 3 other kids created a cheap and easy to use device to help old people with tremors and Parkinson’s eat.

I have been on track for 3 years and am a co-captain this year

I have volunteered in nursing homes, and mosques

I also had my Columbia interview today and did very well. The interviewer said I would be an excellent student there and he said he would write great things about me.

PLEASE HELP ME AND LET ME KNOW.

I applied only for fun and I know im probably going to get rejected but I just want to know if i have a chance

89% = 3.56 GPA, right?
1340 is extremely low for Columbia so unless you studied for the ACT that might have been a bad idea
ECs can only go so far with uncompetitive numbers in my opinion
But I’m not an authority on this, so if the guy told you you’d be a good fit (they might tell that to everyone) all you can do is hope

Yea i studied for the ACT and thank you for your input

Your GPA and ACT will probably kill you. Also, the interview has little to no impact, unfortunately.
