<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I am an international student and I am applying for columbia college class of 2014. I am taking the IB program and i was predicted around 39-40 points. I am participating in many extra curriculars : I am a student government Vice President, a lead singer in my schools main rock band, a basketball team member, a theater arts main role actor and a senior class representative. </p>

<p>My biggest concern is SAT. My results are extremely poor and i am not sure if i should try taking the ACTs in december, or concentrate on my SAT what do u think? I took an intense summer course for SAT but my scores did not change. And my other question is: How harsh is Columbia about its SATs? Do I have a chance?</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>What are your scores?</p>

<p>uh-oh spaghetti-o’s</p>

<p>Try the ACT. Until you score a reasonable score (30+ ACT or 2000+ SAT) you will have little to no chance at Columbia.</p>

6

<p>^^^^harsh.</p>

<p>It’s the truth. Especially as an international student with fierce competition.</p>

8

<p>you’re right, but it definately depends more on other variables than on test scores</p>

<p>Do you think that the ACT will go better for me than SAT because i was told that some people do better in one than in the other and if that is true, then why?</p>
