<p>Essay: Personal essay was about rock climbing, everyone who I had read it thought it was great.
Recs: One should be excellent, the other should be very good. Guidance councilor rec is questionable, she's new and sort of overloaded.</p>

<p>Basically I'm really boring extracurricular wise but everything else is good.</p>

<p>reject. kidding. there’s no way for anyone to know.</p>

<p>you probably have about a 9% chance of acceptance. good luck!</p>

<p>Great gpa and SAT’s and everything…but your EC’s do not impress me at all. Also, there is no possible way anyone can chance you here. Schools have their own specific criteria and there is no possible way of knowing whether you have a legit shot. This is Columbia we’re talking about, it’s a crap shoot for everybody.</p>

<p>^Lol at whoever said this person has unimpressive ECs/slim chance…</p>
