I applied to Columbia Early Decision this fall.
My GPA is 3.74 (unweighted)
I am taking 2 AP classes (Government and Psychology), 1 honors class (Latin), and 2 regular classes (English and PreCalculus).
I have 2 As, 1 A-, and 2 Bs; A in AP Psych and English, A- in Honors Latin, and B in Math and AP Government.
My grades have been trending upward since freshman year.
I have also taken AP US History, AP Environmental Science, AP Biology, and AP Latin
I have a 2240 superscored SAT, with 770 in reading, 780 in writing, and 690 in math; I also have a 790 on the US History subject test and a 720 on the Literature subject test.
I also have legacy at Columbia.
Am I screwed, or do I still have a shot at getting accepted.
I have been on track/cross country every year of highschool, and was co-captain during this fall season of cross country. In addition, I have been heavily involved with my local youth group, and have been a student leader since the beginning of junior year. I also have over 100 hours of community service.
co-captain>?
I was one of two captains of the cross country team this fall
Your current GPA almost puts you out of the running, as does your SAT.
@basedchem You’re right about the GPA. But on the SAT, what are you thinking? A 2240 isn’t good enough? Huh? OP is fine with 2240 and 2 good SAT subject tests. And is legacy.
@golfcashoahu If the subscores were more evenly distributed, then I would say the SAT is ok, but a 690 math just won’t cut it.
