<p>Stanford and Columbia are high reaches for practically everyone and your academics are somewhat on the low end but I think your EC’s can make up for that somewhat. University of Virginia I’m not sure about since you’re OOS so it makes the expectations go up somewhat.</p>

<p>Thanks. Is it true that out of state might help because of the economy?</p>

<p>Basically nonexistent chances at Stanford/Columbia unless you are both a URM and have a significant hook.</p>

<p>Athleticism will not compensate for sub-par test scores and a low GPA. </p>

<p>You have no real chance of getting into those schools.</p>

<p>If you’re not a URM, I don’t think you have a significant chance at Columbia, Stanford or UVA. Sorry.</p>
