<p>Do you go to TJ? ;) Good stats- Columbia (and most other ivy leagues) are such a random thing these days even for ppl with stats like yours because everyone with the top SAT's and GPA's apply to the same 5-8 schools. But with ur stuff, if it's not Columbia, it'll definitely be a top school (plenty of kids who dont get into Columbia end up at HYP and vice versa)~ gl.</p>

<p>i like the strength of success shown in your 3 things (bio/science, violin, soccer). your GPA is a little low though - where does that put you relative to your classmates?</p>
