<p>State: IL <-- hope this helps</p>
<p>you have the grades and sats, ecs seem pretty good from a first glance. yeah, you have a solid shot, ed will definitely help, but nothing is a sure shot these days in the college admission process.</p>
<p>gpa/courseload?</p>
<p>unlike the average 25 ECs/applicant, this is a 'well lopsided' summary, strong on academics, very strong on a couple of ECs and still a few others to show a broad set of experiences. I think if you don't mess up the essays/interview, i can't see why you would not make it. go ED to be safe, Columbia is notorious for rejecting even highly qualified applicants.</p>
<p>Thanks for the replies. Will definitely work hard on the essays to give myself a good shot.</p>

<p>good chances. You have very generic "asian" (dunno if you're asian or not) EC's but the good thing is that you apparently excel at them. Wanna specify on "top 5 in state"? How did you do on AMC/AIME? Anyway, i'd say admit with some nice essays.</p>
<p>Hehe, you got me there - 100% asian. </p>
<p>We've consistently been top 5 in ICTM state finals every year in our division.</p>
<p>Got a 2 on the AIME. Nothing special.</p>
<p>Could you elaborate more on your Piano and Military involvements? In particular, I'm curious what sorts of "national" recognition you've received for your music, how strong a commitment it is, and how that commitment is demonstrated. For the military/leadership thing, can you just go on for a paragraph or so about what that's all about?</p>
