<p>same as many of the other people (the ones who have posted their stats) who are applying. Nothing distinguishing. Essay and teachers recs will be very important.</p>

<p>Your numbers are outstanding. Since you are applying to theatre arts, your primary hurdle is to write a convincing application as to "Why theatre arts?" & "Why Columbia's theatre arts?" & to have demonstrated interest & accomplishments in theatre arts in your resume/application.
You may also want to consider Northwestern University's School of Communications theatre major which also does not require an audition. I believe that NYU's Tisch School does, however, require auditions for theatre/acting majors.</p>
