<p>Its kind of hard without the SATs but you’re definitely on the right track. Columbia is a crapshoot so good luck. I’m on my phone but I would still love a chance back of you could go on my profile and view all threads started by me. And click the game over one! Thanks</p>
<p>If you can get a great SAT I score, somewhere around 2200, I would say you are in at all except for Columbia. You might also want to take a few subject tests, as I think they are required for private schools. Columbia is a reach, as it is for everyone. However, if you get like a 2400 on SAT, who knows? Good luck!</p>
<p>You’re in at Stony Brook but the honors college might be more like 60% chance if you’re applying for it… i’s hard to tell without SATs though.
Probably in at UMich too, dunno about the other though.
If you pull 2200+ on SATs I’d say Columbia is a possibility, but never a guarantee.</p>
<p>Without SAT scores and Junior year grades you ca’n’t tell for Columbia, but so far you look like you’ll be a competitive applicant.
Michigan will probably be a match for you, and excellent chances for Stony Brook and Macaulay.</p>
<p>Only reach I see right now is Columbia. GPA isn’t super high and can’t say without SAT if it will balance out or not. Pretty thorough ECs will give you a boost. I’d say you have a high chance at everywhere else.</p>
<p>Macaulay Honors is probably a low match (I never see anyone talk about it on here…how’d you find out about it from Florida??), depending on what they’re looking for this year - a bunch of kids in my school went last year with GPAs lower than yours, but the average scores/etc of people admitted seems to change every year. It’s a great school though. UMich is probably a match too, but again, depends what they’re looking for…play up anything quirky you have! Most of the people there I know had something unique about their application. I’m not sure about Stony Brook, but it seems pretty likely. And Columbia is Columbia, but it’s definitely not out of the question!</p>
<p>Good luck! As a fellow junior probably applying to some of the same schools, let’s see how it goes…</p>
<p>It seems to me that you’re definitely in everywhere but Columbia. You definietly have a great shot at Columbia, it’s just a little bit more of a reach</p>
<p>What can I say? You have an excellent shot, those ECs are excellent fro the most part (Maybe try to get some more work published, perhaps submit it as an art supplement). Just give your SATs a good run and I don’t think you’ll have too much trouble, even at Columbia.</p>
<p>Columbia is crazy hard to get into. I’d start taking the SAT now! You never know if you’re well-suited for the test, and you may need to start an SAT-prep program. Keep up the EC’s, and never stop playing piano =D</p>
