<p>chances for Columbia ED seas</p>

<p>You’re definitely qualified, but that’s about all anyone on here will be able to tell you. Even in the early decision round Columbia’s acceptance rate is below 20%. Every year thousands of qualified applicants get turned away. Just keep up the good work and hope for the best! Good luck.</p>

<p>I was worried about my SAT mostly. And thank you. By the way, did you mean the overall ED was below 20%. Because I saw that the ED for seas was 30.5% ??</p>

4

<p>I’d say if you’ve got a great essay then you’ve got a decent chance</p>

5

<p>I hope so. Anyone else?</p>

<p>Psh, don’t worry. I’m pretty sure you’ll be just fine. I know this girl from my school who got into SEAS ED, and she was not NEARLY as qualified as you are right now. </p>

<p>do try to show your versatility though. i know you’re applying to SEAS and all, but show them that you’re also interested in things other than science-related things. and i’m sure you are :)</p>
