<p>The sad truth is… so are thousands of other applicant’s. Yes your ECs are exceptional but none are ostentatious enough to be hooks. I can honestly say you definitely have a chance at the two UCs but Columbia… I can equally honestly say (with your current scores) at Columbia you probably have a 1% chance if not less. With a 2300 probably 25%. With a 2200, 20%. Columbia is extremely competitive. You can look up profiles of people who have been rejected with a easy google search. Sorry, just being realistic. Maybe you should look at NYU?</p>
