<p>You hate math but you're presient of the computer club? wuhhh?</p>
<p>Either way, if you can get that math score around 700 you should be in at the UCs IMO, but I would say that Columbia is a reach or a high reach for you just because you go to a competitive high school there may be kids who are more likely to be selected by Columbia (you didn't mention your class rank). You still have a shot, but not as good of a shot as you have at the UCs. Good luck!</p>
<p>The club is more about the visuals that computers can create, centering about programs like Photoshop and Flash, while spending some time with Hardware, and a brief interlude with programming (not my specialty).</p>
<p>I've already taken the October SAT, and I hope I did pretty well, but I think my chances of getting a 700 math score are kinda low, because I know I skipped like 6, so, that greatly hurts my chances, especially since the UCs take only single sitting.</p>
<p>My school does not offer class ranks, because we are a very competitive school, and I'm applying early decision to Columbia, so that also changes things a bit.</p>
<p>UCB - Low Match/High Reach. You're within their student body "average" but knowing UCB you will have to write a killer essay. Prepare yourself.
UCLA - Match
UCSD - Match
Columbia - Low Match/High Reach. Same as UCB.</p>
