<p>From what I've read, applying regular is rough... and since I know little about actual admissions, I can't tell you much. But I can say that your test scores and curriculum are pretty standard judging from what I've seen on college forums and whatnot. EC's aren't too impressive though. (They ask for 5 school-related and 3 out-of-school EC's---they also leave a section for job experience, if memory serves---but if you devote ridiculous amounts of time to them, then I suppose that's understandable, I can only infer.)</p>
<p>Ughhh, I want to learn to speak Russian sooo badddllyyy. So jealous. Anyway, regarding your EC's, everyone has a weak point (I'd like to think), e.g. mine happens to be my standardized testing... it just depends who you're applying with, I suppose. Good luck :)</p>
<p>wow...you are doing quite well...ahhaha...i wish i have your academic grades....but i would not be surprised if you didn't make it in...i'm not trying to be cruel or anything its that Columbia is a really hard school to get into and i had to give up going to columbia once i realized as wasn't even in the ball park...most people who apply there are valedictorians or salutorians of their high school...but you should try anyway...you have a much higher chance than i do...ahhahaha...but seriously, go for it and i hope you make it in... :]</p>
