<p>Well, you've got your 4.0 GPA and 34 ACT (which is equivalent to a 2260 SAT). Your EC's aren't spectacular, but considering your stats and the fact that you're URM, you've got a pretty good chance.</p>

3

<p>would you say that you are a master debater?</p>

4

<p>Oh man, that is the most overrated joke ever lol.</p>

<p>As for you gar_spartan , don't sweat it. You are both multi-cultural and extremely academic. You have a very high chance with Columbia</p>

5

<p>i wouldnt say he has a VERY high chance...but its probable.
id say the SAT score brings down ur chance majorly.
a lot of the ppl who apply to CC have like 2250+ if not 2300+</p>

6

<p>but columbia's middle 50% sat is way below 2200... i don't think it SERIOUSLY jeopardizes the chance:)</p>

7

<p>i was hoping that my ACT score would cover for my SAT.</p>

8

<p>I don't think enough people know exactly how prestigious the TOC is, and the amount of dedication and skill it takes to get there. Your debate EC is pretty damn awesome (scores could be better but meh), I say you have a pretty good chance.</p>
