<p>I was hoping you could tell me by chances of getting into Columbia.</p>
<p>Firstly, I am from South Africa and my race is Indian. I attend a private school but I most definitely CANNOT afford Columbia fees.</p>
<p>SAT: 2180 (780 Maths, 650 Critical Reading and 750 Writing)
Still going to write my SAT 2s but I am expecting 800 fir Maths 2 and 750 for Biology.
4.0 GPA and I take the only AP subject offered in my country (Maths). I am top 5 in my class.
I have achieved academic colours in my school. I have also come top 10% in the country for all private schools (our examinations are MUCH harder).</p>
<p>I play tennis for my school. I have completed 300 hours of community service throughout the country. I am part of an Interact Rotary Organisation (community service club) and I am a current board member of the club (secretary). I was the secretary of the school's MDC (Matric(senior) Dance Committee). I have played a variety of sports but unfortunately, was never selected as a captain.</p>
<p>I have excellent recommendation letters from my tennis coach and my principal.</p>
<p>I have completed my ICDL (International Computers Licence) and I have been part of debating club, current affairs club, chess club and now Interact.</p>
<p>I also have been awarded the President's award which requires 72 hours of community service, a 5 day residential project (an additional 40 hours of community service), major participation in sport and improvement, good academic results and cultural activities.</p>
<p>I am a prefect as well.</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting into Columbia?</p>
