I’ll be applying ED and Columbia is honestly my dream school, but I’m not sure how well I stand. Primarily, I don’t have subject tests completed and my act/gpa are below median. Also the only ECs I have are really football and NHSs and FBLA. So do I really have an equal shot with all the 35ers with perfect 800 sat IIs and dozens of ECs? Here are my actual stats:
GPA UW: 3.89
GPA (school weighted): 4.3
ACT: 33 (35E, 35M, 29R, 33S, 10W)
Class Rigor: Took every honors class possible and also a good set of dual enrolleds.
APs: 10th - APWH (4). 11th - APUSH (5), AP Lang (5). 12th - AP Chem, AP Calc AB, AP lit, AP US Gov, AP Macro
Sat Subject Tests: None (big problem)
Service Hours: Only 110 (60 from a consignment shop, 40 from a week long children’s football camp, 10 various little things)
Extra Curriculurs:
-Varsity football 9th-12th (team captain 11th grade year) (lots of time everyday spent here, but I do not want to play in college)
-Varsity track and field 9th-12th (no distinctions)
-Member of NHS, NMHS (Math), NEHS (English), NSHS (Spanish)
-3 year member of FBLA
