Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>I'm a junior right now.</p>

<p>PSAT: 202(Sophomore year...)(80 Math, 550 CR, 670 WS)
Should I try to make my scores: 80 MAth, 700 CR, 700 WS? Would making my CR and WS higher help a large amount?</p>

<p>Mu Alpha Theta Honors society 3rd place national prize winner for a stat project
APs: APWH(5), AP Stats(4), AP Micro(5), AP Physics, AP BC Calc, APUSH
Top 10% of my class, Dual sport varsity athlete, on merit/athletic/need scholarship to a New England Prep school(From TN as well; Not the usual area).</p>

<p>My GPA is a 5.0-4.8/6.0 unweighted.</p>

<p>Junior year classes: AP Phyics, AP BC Calc, APUSH, English, Honors Bio
Senior year Classes: AP Bio, Post-Calc, English, AP Chemistry(Or not) and three term contained courses or I can take an AP History. I was thinking about Con law, Capitalism and business ethics for three term contained courses..</p>

<p>I'm a big Model UN guy, Math Team, I participate in REACH(Community help), Investment Club, Republican Club, School lit magazine and I think I will be an AP Scholar with distinctions.</p>

<p>I attend a boarding school in the NE(On scholarship; Merit, Athletic and Need).</p>

<p>What are my chances? Anything I should focus on? Am I a long shot? Should I apply ED/RD?
I may need financial aid, if I got in ED and my family can't pay what happens?</p>

<p>Focus on getting rid of that 550 CR score. Bring it up 100 points and then you’ll be playing the same ball game as everyone else.</p>

3

<p>I just got a 630(Practice test yesterday).</p>

<p>So now:
800 Math, 630 CR, 670 WS= 2100</p>

4

<p>Are you looking to apply to SEAS or CC?</p>

5

<p>CC most likely for business/economics(I don’t know which econ would be most related to business…).</p>

<p>Any other input would be great.</p>
