For Columbia University

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a junior and my absolute dream school is Columbia University. Unfortunately my grades are not superb this year. Fortunately-ish I got to a really hard school which sends dozens of people there. My school does not do GPA, but these are the stats I have: </p>

<p>SAT: 2370 (800 Writing & Critical Reading; 770 Math)
Subject tests: 800 US History, 780 Math 2, 750 Japanese
APs: We don't have AP classes but are encouraged to take them if we get above a B+ in certain classes. I'm taking the BC Calc and Lit in May.
Grades:
X:
History - A
English - A
Precalc - B
Spanish - A-
Chemistry - A-
XI: (first semester)
History - A
English - A-
BC Calc - B-
Spanish - B+
Physics - B+
(yeah I know they're far from great)</p>

<p>Anyways, any honest input would be really appreciated. I can't really ask friends because it sounds obnoxious to have such high ambitions and they don't know much better than me anyway. </p>

<p>Well your scores are stellar so that’s good. I’m assuming that your Asian because of the Jap. subject test, so that definitely will make it harder, but given the acceptance history with Columbia and your school, as long as you are ranked at the top of your class and have good ECs and essays, you should definitely have a really good shot!</p>

<p>Thank you!! Not really sure how to respond to you directly but your words of encouragement mean a lot :slight_smile: My math grade is so annoying and no matter how hard I try I can’t bring it up :frowning: </p>
