Chances for Columbia ED or RD

Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University
1

<p>my list of schools:</p>

<p>UC Irvine
UCSB
UCLA
UC berkeley
UC San Diego
Georgetown
Columbia (ED?)
Johns Hopkins ( maybe)
Stanford (EA or RD need help deciding)
northwestern
brown
Princeton(ED)-Common APP
U of Chicago EA
Cornell-COMMON APP
Harvard-Common APP
Carnegie Mellon-Common APP (maybe)
Duke-COMMON APP (maybe)
Dartmouth-Common APP ( maybe)
Upenn-COMMON APP</p>

<p>that's a lot of schools, so how do I cut them down? what I'm looking for in a school:</p>

<p>-mediocre weather
-nice buildings
-good surrounding city with lots to do
-GRADE INFLATION ( easier to get A's than other schools... I know university of Chicago has grade deflation which is horrible)
-i need to get into a good law school, which school will help me do this?</p>

<p>My stats:
- My fully weighted g.p.a that even weights college summer courses is:
9-11 4.1 W ( Georgetown EA, or Univer of Chicago EA or Columbia ED)
9-12 4.2 W ( RD applications most of those schools) 3.7 uw
10-11 4.5 W 3.88 uw(princeton ED, uc's) uc g.p.a is 4.2 capped
10-12 4.57 W 3.91 uw ( Stanford ) RD</p>

<p>please keep in mind this is my FULLY weighted gpa means weighting colleges summer courses taken at uc berkeley as well</p>

<p>SAT 1: 2200
SAT 2: US 770, MATH 2c 790, math 1c 780</p>

<p>HUGE UPWARD TREND IN GRADES!! i have great valid reasons for this! Will schools even take pity on me and might even consider taking out freshman year? I emailed Dartmouth undergrad and they said they might and that would make my gpa about a 3.9 + uw at every school I apply to and that would make a HUGE difference in RD or ED/EA applications</p>

<p>rec's and essays should be good... i'm spending a lot of time on them even now!</p>

<p>Wow, this post is like The Neverending Story. Nobody's going to read this all, but it sounds like you have your stuff together and will get into some good schools. I just have one question for you -- what the heck do you think "celebrity law" entails.</p>

<p>Here's a thought:</p>

<p>You're an overachiever looking for an ego boost by posting all of that nonsense in a new "chances" thread on the forum of an ivy league school. Do yourself a favor -- apply. Then sit back, take it easy, and wait for a decision.</p>
