<p>I am currently a junior in high school and Columbia and UC Berkeley are my top choices. I am planning on applying to both schools (Columbia ED) and am curious to hear what my chances might be. I am concerned about my GPA/APs, but I think my SATs and ECs are strong.</p>

<p>Your stats are fine (although, if you don’t mind me asking, what was your UW GPA and/or class rank?) and you have great ECs. I think you’d be a great fit for Columbia, considering you did their Science Program, and I believe you have a good chance of getting in. Good luck! :D</p>

<p>Thanks for your response! My school doesn’t do UW GPA or class rank (at least not that I know of). I probably should have included that in there haha</p>

<p>Try bringing up the SAT a little bit for those universities. What is your intended major?
Both are low reaches right now but you have a shot. The rec from Columbia will immensely help.
