<p>Good chance. You're also at a demographic advantage; not to mention the duality/plurality of your talents.</p>

3

<p>I think your SAT scores are fine and your EC's show your passion. You have as good a chance as anyone else.</p>

4

<p>I'm not sure your demographic advantage gives. However, your EC's are better than average and you have good grades and scores.. If you have good essays, then you'll have a really good chance.</p>

5

<p>You have really great chances at either. Where are you leaning towards more for ED?</p>

6

<p>I still can't decide; I like both of the curriculum's. Wharton's split business/liberal arts and Columbia's core courses. I'll be visiting in the summer, but I'm definitely applying ED.</p>

<p>Well, for Columbia, let's just say I hope you pick Wharton, because you're going to make me look bad if you do Columbia ED. But aside from that, good chances I'd say. With ED, I'd say chances around 40%+, since you've got a really good GPA and with all of your SAT sections above 700, you're around the middle of the applicant pool, maybe slightly below the middle, but still well within range.
ECs are above average, so with solid essays and recs you might not be an automatic admit, but you've got very good chances.</p>

<p>I'd say Wharton is a little bit tougher to get in, but again, very strong chances, especially if you've got space in an essay to explain why you really want Wharton and the advantages that if offers.</p>
