<p>Your stats are good, but I don’t really see anything that stands out and makes you Columbia-worthy. What’s your class rank? If you’re top 1% that’ll help. It’ll probably come down to your essays and recommendations at this point. Applying early will also help. However, I’d still say it’s a reach just because it is an Ivy-league school and all Ivies have less than a 10% acceptance rate.</p>

<p>If you want me to read your essays, you can PM them over to me.</p>

<p>For every student, even those getting 2400s and 2300s, an IVY school should be considered a reach. Always.</p>

<p>Hopeful360, do you have an email I can reach you at? For some reason it won’t let me PM</p>

<p>You need 15 posts to PM I think, it’s some stupid rule that they have.</p>
