Chances at Columbia

<p>What is some advice to get in to Columbia? </p>

<p>A little background on me:
I have incredible extracurriculars and have held just about every position in student government (Site council president, Junior class president, and senior class treasurer). I have played 3 different sports in high school (golf, swim, and water polo). I made the varsity golf team my Freshman year
My GPA is a 3.96 weighted and I have a 1960 SAT score.
My current class are Ap physics, Ap calc, ASB (student gov), Ap English language, AP US history, Pre-Calculus Honors, physics (my school is on a 4x4 schedule so I take 4 classes in the fall and 4 in the spring)</p>

<p>I am just about halfway through Junior year so I was wondering what I could do to increase my chances of acceptance into Columbia?
-GPA
-SAT Score
- Extracurriculars
- Etc.</p>

<p>What is your unweighted GPA? The biggest issues I see are your SAT score (try and get over 2100) and ECs, they are good, but you have no community service or anything unique/that will make you stand out.</p>

<p>Do get a higher SAT score to improve your chance at Columbia.</p>

<p>I have a 3.8 unweighted GPA</p>

<p>Your unweighted GPA is slightly low for Columbia if that is your junior year GPA. What specifically are your extracurriculars? Also, what is your ethnicity? Also, you definitely need to improve that SAT score for a school like Columbia. For golf, are you good enough to be recruited for a college team?</p>
