<p>So what do you guys think about applying early to Columbia? Is there a very high chance of me getting in ED or is it a crapshoot still like most Ivies are?</p>
<p>Really go for Quality over Quantity. You have done so much and there really isn’t much room to talk about a lot of stuff. If you can come across well on paper and seem genuinely interested I think you have as great a chance as anyone at practically any school.</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>Yeah you have a good chances at the top Ivyes. But some of your awards and ECs seem to be made into a big deal even though they’re not that important. 
Good luck!</p>
<p>First of all, I envy your accomplishments as a high school student. </p>
<p>I am a Junior and I am very interested in getting some research experience before I head of to college in a couple years. The University of Washington is not too far away from my town so I would love to be able to take advantage of that great research institution. </p>
<p>How did you get the various research positions that you held at UCSD?</p>
<p>Thank you for any info/advice that you give me!</p>
<p>Dang, do we go to the same school? I’m in Academic League in my school in SD and I believe we placed second this year.</p>
<p>Your list of accomplishments is nothing short of spectacular. I’d say admissions are going to come down to essays and how you can adequately demonstrate who you are/your thought processes in a 500 word essay.</p>
<p>suprasanity: I agree, was about to say to leave out the middle school work, as apps are about your HS career</p>
