<p>Great stats and nice ECs. I’d say you have a good chance!</p>

<p>You’re in girl!! ;)</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Pale.
Haha so funny… </p>

<p>Anyway, I think you have a good chance of getting in, but I’m no admissions officer =S</p>

<p>You have a big chance to get in. One of your advantages is you did not ask for Financial Aid. One big disadvantage is you have ONLY two APs…Report to this forum after you get your result.</p>

<p>Columbia is need-blind for domestic students.</p>

<p>Some schools claim themselves as need-blind, but the fact may not be always true. If you could do some research and read some books by some college insiders, you will find only Very A FEW schools are really need-blind, schools such as Harvard, Princeton, and Yale.</p>

<p>^ And doing such research shows that Columbia is indeed need-blind and meets full need for domestic applicants.</p>

<p>I <em>did</em> apply for financial aid :slight_smile:
david05, that would have been a disadvantage but my school does not offer AP classes for nonseniors. I took the AP exams but took regular-level classes. The extra AP material I learned on my own.</p>

<p>& i got in!!! I am too ecstatic for words, but I do hope that things went similarly for all of you!!</p>
