<p>Wow, is this really the class of 2015 applying this year?! I feel like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel for me; I’m scheduled to finish my PhD in 2013.</p>

<p>Anyway, to answer your question: I think your SAT score/ACT score is a bit low, but your high GPA may balance that. You’ve got average to above-average extracurriculars. I think you’ve got a chance but I wouldn’t count on it heavily; if ED really does give a “boost” like people say it does perhaps that’ll help your lower test scores over the hedge.</p>

<p>Prepare yourself with some great match schools!</p>

<p>Are you applying to Columbia in New York or Columbia in South Carolina?</p>

<p>Because If you’re talking about Columbia in South Carolina then you’ll get in and you’ll get a full tuition scholarship</p>

<p>If you’re talking about Columbia in New York, well, that may be a different story, but I still would think you would get in.</p>

<p>Nice. This goes to show that even if a school is a “mid-high reach” (man I was wrong :slight_smile: , just go for it and maybe you’ll be accepted. Super Congrats to OP because I saw the ED results for Columbia and it was, to put it lightly, Brutal. Great job again.</p>
