<p>Hardship:
My parents got divorced when i was 8 years old, and ever since then I have had to change schools and states every 6 months. Throughout high school i've gone to 6 different schools (1 online.) During my entire sophomore year, i went through a long and terrible custody battle that eventually ruled in my favor, but not before ruining my relationship with my dad. By the beginning of junior year, my dad finally moved to where i was living from Arkansas (part of the agreement made in court.) I really dislike my dad and we got in an argument one day and he assaulted me. Anyways, this whole situation was really stressful and i will explain it in my essays.</p>

Really good. Wrote about my hardship shown above and how i did great things despite it, like the app programming</p>

<p>I’d say youre in</p>

<p>I don’t think your ECs are very good (since you did a lot of them for only one year) but your grades, standardized test scores and being an URM makes you a very strong candidate. I think you’ll get in as well.</p>

<p>Bump. I will chance back</p>

<p>Your standardized test scores are definitely good enough, but your schedule seems weak even in a school where APs are not as common. You definitely have a good shot at Columbia and your essays should help you. It’s a reach for anyone though. </p>

<p>You have a very good shot but it’s still a reach man. </p>

<p>I think you’ve got great chances - your scores are fantastic and the developing an application EC will no doubt be a plus. But Ivies are unpredictable for everyone. Still, you’re a competitive applicant! All the best and I hope you get in!!</p>
