<p>Hey,
I am a rising junior in high school and was wondering what my chances are at getting into Columbia University. My GPA right now is 4.17 and I am trying to raise that more next year (I have obtained at least a A in every class so far). My SAT score is 2150. I am a white male from northern Virginia and would consider my family upper-middle class. I will have ran track and cross country for 4 years, and hopefully will captain for both during my junior and senior year (I was the top runner on the team freshmen and sophomore year). I placed well at cross country states last year, and am hoping to make the all-state team this year and my senior year. Also, I play piano through private lessons. I go to a public school, but I am part of the county's Academy of Science (AOS), a new magnet school comparable to the local Thomas Jefferson High School (rated #1 public high school in USA). I volunteer at the hospital every summer (I want to be a doctor) and have other activities such as a marine biology trip to the Bahamas and an exchange program with a Spanish student. I am currently conducting a 2 year research project at my school using C.elegans as a model for Huntington's Disease. My courses for my 4 years are below:
