<p>You’ve got a great shot. Honestly. You’ve done everything in your power, and now it’s up to the somewhat random hands of the admission committee. No matter what happens, I’m sure you’ll end up somewhere great doing amazing things.</p>

<p>Even if you don’t get into Columbia (not because of you, but because of the random admissions process), you’ll get into a bunch of the other schools you listed. So… don’t worry! And good luck!</p>

<p>I’m not an expert in this sort of stuff, but from the looks of it, you’re in. You’ve got the grades, the rigorous class schedule, the SAT score, the awards, and the ECs to get into just about any school. Have fun at Columbia/Harvard/Yale/Princeton/wherever else you get in!</p>
