<p>I've posted for Columbia chances before, but I have new scores now!</p>
<p>Stats --
White female from Long Island, NY
Attending Emma Willard School
Grandfather attended Columbia College and dental school
Grandmother attended grad school (I know grad school isn't a legacy, but an advisor told me grandparents can help?)
Old SAT: 760 v + 740 m = 1500
New SAT: 800 cr + 740 m + 790 w = 2330, 9/12 essay
SAT-IIs: French 800, Literature 760, Math IC 790
Will probably take Math IIC and Physics in fall
AP Comp Sci AB: 4 (took it sophomore year)
AP French: don't know yet but guessing 5
Grades are all As (school does not give A+s, 93-100 is an A) except for one A- in English for fall semester of junior year
School also doesn't rank or give GPAs</p>
<p>ECs and stuff --
choir, inner choir, a capella groups
yearbook photographer
peer educator
proctor
starting philosophy club next year
Japanese and Korean language tutorials
anime club (haha)
currently helping out with a local political campaign
used to do a lot of acting and might start again this summer (???)</p>
<p>Awards --
French (9, first freshman to receive it)
Computer science (10)
Harvard book award (11)</p>
<p>Possible majors are physics, philosophy, maaaybe political science. No sports and less-than-stellar ECs compared to some others, I know, but I've heard that what's most important for Columbia is the essay and I should be able to rock that. Well, I hope.</p>
<p>So I'm curious about my chances for:
Columbia (first choice and will probably apply ED, even though I need financial aid)
Yale
UPenn
NYU
UChicago</p>
