<p>I'm currently a freshman at a top 50 university. I enjoy it here, but I LOVE new york and the independent, intellectual atmosphere Columbia has to offer.</p>
<p>My HS grades were pretty lame. I ended up getting around a 3.2 GPA. I attended a competitive public school and showed grade improvement. Senior year I took 4 APS and got close to a 4.0.
My ECs were awesome. I won't get too specific, but I was very involved and took a initiative. </p>
<p>SAT: 2100+ (I don't know my specific score)
Involved in many clubs on campus and have a GPA of 3.98.</p>
<p>I'm planning on applying to:
1.) Columbia
2.) Barnard
3.) Vassar
4.) NYU (fin. aid may be an issue)
5.) Upenn and Cornell (I heard they're somewhat transfer friendly)
6.) Brown
7.) WIlliams</p>
<p>I'm aware that it's a reach, but do I have a shot?</p>
