Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I know Columbia is one of the most competitive schools and my grades are not quite the average Columbia student’s but with my background would I have any chance?

I’m South African but grew up in Hong Kong. I finished High school in Italy at United World College (a very selective program)

I can speak english, french and italian.

I have all A+ in my IGCSES
My IB is predicted 39 with HL in History Econ and English Lit and Lang

My SATs
Reading 700
Maths 710
Writing 660

I’ve been dancing my entire life and have worked with professional companies and have a wide range of achievements in this field

I have also done MUN, volunteer work throughout my life, photography, peace and conflict club, gender and sexuality club, maths team,
I did an internship in the Philippines with a charity.
I have travelled my entire life and have a passion about cultural understanding.

Is it worth applying?

I guess it’s better if you retake SAT

Not sure. It’s not like you have 0 chance, but you can’t have more than like 1-2% imo. Test scores are quite low for Columbia. How good are you at dance?
