Columbia is a reach, but its a reach for everyone. I think you have a realistic shot though. Vanderbilt is a match college. i think you have a 60 percent chance of getting in. However, take these responses with a grain salt. Your stats are in the range of these schools but their admission rates are brutal. Apply and see; there is no reason not to. Please chance me back if you have some free time.

@mbrad98@citygroup hit the nail on the head. Your profile looks excellent, but Columbia is a reach for everyone. Apply ED for the best shot, if Columbia is where you truly want to be. Vanderbilt is a match, as city noted as well. Best of luck and congrats on your achievements!
