<p>Gay is not a hook unless you’re an activist of LGBTQ rights.</p>

<p>Other than that, you should know that admissions at Columbia is virtually umpredictable. We can’t “chance” you.</p>

<p>standardized scores are low for Columbia, your ECs are okay, but being a urm helps. It’s still super unpredictable though. People get rejected with 2400s and amazing ECs, but others get in with sub par stats. Good luck! You’ll be competing against me! haha</p>
