Chances at Columbia?

<p>White Canadian male, no financial aid needed.</p>

<p>GPA: 88.5% UW overall. Grade 12 GPA 90%, look for a similar result in grade 13 (we have extra years in Quebec). Upward trend; +5% in last two years.
Course load: Most difficult, 5/7 courses for honours.
Class Rank: Top 5-6 out of 75 in an honours program.
SAT I: 1420 (730v, 690m)...I'll have to retake the new SAT, and I figure I can get around 2150-2200 on it, given the new material.
SAT IIs: Haven't taken yet, but I think I could score between 690-750 on literature and math IIC, which are the two I plan on taking.</p>

<p>Recs would be very good, essays would be excellent.</p>

<p>ECs: School newspaper (3 yrs, editor 1 yr.), literary journal editor (3 yrs.), some other writing stuff (a couple freelance articles for big city newspaper), quiz team (2 yrs.), music (4 yrs.), part-time job for two years, Battle of the Bands organizer.</p>

<p>I know it's a reach, but I'd have a shot...right?</p>
