<p>Everything looks great but can’t chance ya! Believe me, your stats are so impressive. Sadly, I am not currently in the AdCom of Columbia! LOL. </p>

<p>You will certainly create problems for others during the admission with your ‘pretty’ profile but no one can chance you! It depends more or less in the AdCom. And those people are really unpredictable. Why don’t u ED at Columbia? The ED acceptance rate is really good. And with these stats I’m sure you will make really nice impact.</p>

<p>Did you end up attending Columbia? Your stats seem to qualify.</p>
