<p>I really wanna go to Columbia. I just finished up my junior year. Can you guys read this and tell me if I have any chance?</p>
<p>SAT 1: 790 Math, 700 Writing, 690 Verbal (I've only taken it once unless you count taking it in 7th grade)
PSAT: 213 (98th percentile, I think that means qualifying for national merit)
Weighted GPA: 5.0 (on the scale that an A in a standard class is a 4, in honors, a 5, and in AP a 6)
Unweighted GPA: 3.94
AP Gov't and Politics United States score: 5
I've taken 5 other AP exams since then (that was sophomore year), but I won't know my scores until July.</p>
<p>Extracurriculars/Awards that go with them:
gymnastics (since the age of 5, I'm turning 17 in 2 1/2 weeks) (2004 nat'l champ and silver medalist on power tumlbing and trampoline)
track & field (since the age of 12) (9th grade=MVP, 10th grade=honorable mention MVP, 11th grade=Coach's award)
cross country (just junior year, maybe I'll do it senior year as well)
science olympiad (junior & senior year) (5th in state on Rocks and Minerals)
envirothon (junior and senior year)
jewish culture club (10th-12th grade) (guaranteed leadership position in 12th grade)
german club (10th-12th grade, 11th grade=treasurer, 12th grade=co-president)

NHS (inducted junior year)
German Honor Society (inducted 10th grade)
drama (acted in winter play junior year, costuming winter play senior year)</p>
<p>I haven't really done much community service. I've been helping out with this big music/art/environmental festival every year since I was really young, but I decided not to this year (I hope that doesn't kill my chance). And I spent every Friday night of my sophomore year volunteering at Open Gym at my gymnastics school.</p>
<p>I've been working at the same job since August too. I dont' know if they really care about if people have jobs or not.</p>
<p>So what do you think? Do I have a chance?</p>
