<p>I don’t mean to be snarky, but at this point you’re not going to get useful information from more people chancing you. At many of the top schools it’s really hard to chance, and the only thing people can say is that you have a much better chance than most of their applicant pool of getting admitted.</p>
<p>What you should be doing now, if you haven’t already, is refining your essays. Figure out what schools want, what their culture is like, what kind of image they want to present to the world, and try to reflect some of that (in your own way, of course) in your essays. I’ve heard Columbia values intellectual bookworms, hardcore readers. Don’t quote me on that. But if you can find out this sort of thing about the colleges you care about the most, your application will be that much stronger.</p>
