<p>Do I have a chance of getting into Columbia SEAS through ED??
Can you guys give me any suggestions?
Should I retake the Math II?</p>

<p>In addition to either the SAT or ACT, you must also take two SAT Subject Tests. For Columbia College, you may take any two; for Columbia Engineering, you must take any mathematics test and either
Physics or Chemistry.
Students must submit all SAT Subject Test scores from all test dates.</p>

<p>^they won’t reject you because you didn’t take the chem sat2. But take either physics or chem either way. While they look at all scores, they do super-score and count the best from each section when making an evaluation. If you apply ED, I’d say you have a solid shot, your stats are up there and the ECs are definitely significant and overall not too stereotypical. Applying RD is a much harder cookie to crack. But SEAS tends to take kids like you.</p>

<p>I didn’t know that I had to take the physics or the chem… i just thought i needed math and a science test. Anyway thank nots and confidentialcoll for your replies. i really appreciate them. That was vital information. I am free to more replies.</p>
