<p>Eep. I hate to say this but your chances aren’t looking so sharp. GPA and SATs are low compared to Columbia’s usual admittance statistics. The 1800s on the SAT won’t help much either…you need at least an 2100+ for a solid SAT score for Columbia. Why didn’t you try for something like QuestBridge? I’m not saying that you shouldn’t apply, if you really like this school, go ahead and apply, but don’t get your hopes up. I’d suggest looking at alternatives. If you really want to go to Columbia, try to get a 4.0 GPA @ the first year of college then transfer out.</p>
