Chances of Columbia Admission?

<p>I'm a junior in an extremely small college preparatory high school in a rural area.
I'm a Sikh and of Indian descent.
SAT scores: 700 CR, 710 M, 780 W.
PSAT: 212, but I'm from Kentucky so I was selected as one of the top 50,000 scorers in the state. (That's all I know about it so far.)
GPA: 4.0 unweighted, 4.31 weighted; It's a college prep school so all the classes are college preparatory and then I take all the APs offered (which isn't very many).
AP: European History 3, English Language and Composition 4; I took APUSH, Calculus AB, and AP Psych but don't know the results yet.</p>

<p>What are my chances of getting into Columbia? I think my test scores may be weak.</p>

<p>You’ll do fine…You seem to have alot of EC’S and you got a 4.0 GPA.</p>

<p>My girlfriend got admitted and hes got a 3.4 uw and her SAT scores were.M 650 CR 600.Cant remember what she got for w.</p>

<p>Good luck and hope you get in</p>

<p>Thanks for the input! I sure hope so.</p>

<p>Slim chances although Columbia does like diversity so you have a shot.</p>

<p>You’re kink of in the middle of the pack scores-wise. If you are able to re-take the SAT, I would definitely do so. Your EC’s should help off-set your SAT scores a little, but you would improve your chances if you raised your score 100 points. Write some strong essays and hopefully get some great recs. Good luck!</p>
