<p>I know that Columbia College would be a very high reach for me, considering my stats aren't that high, but I really love the campus, and the school's programs, so I figure I might as well try.</p>
<p>I was just wondering whether I should apply ED or RW, and if I really have any chances at Columbia.</p>

<p>I know that my scores are kinda low, and that my EC do not really correlate in one area, but I'm still going to apply and give it a shot, but I'm just wondering how realistic are my hopes and dreams at Columbia. </p>
<p>Thanks all for responses.</p>
