<p>I went to Columbia last year, and it was amazing, the whole feel of the place. During the past month, I've been thinking about what characteristics I want a school to have. Based on those characteristics, I've basically narrowed down my early decision choices to Columbia and Dartmouth. I'm going to visit Dartmouth in the summer.</p>
<p>Below is my profile. Do you guys think I even have a chance at Columbia? I want to do engineering.</p>
