<p>Your resume looks fantastic. But keep in mind you never know how its going to end up with the ivies, especially Columbia. My friend’s sister applied to Columbia ED and RD and got deferred and rejected, respectively. However, she got admitted to EVERY other ivy (now shes in Harvard). With that said, I think you have a good chance of getting in RD but you neeeeeeeever know. For NYU, I would say you are in. Your ECs are great andso is your courseload. If you feel like improving something, maybe your Bio SAT II? Idk</p>
