<p>First off, I'm concerned because I'm applying ED to Columbia and have JUST TONIGHT sent off my SAT scores to them... The site says it might take 3-5 weeks, which would be after the deadline... Am I in danger of having my application rejected/ignored as a result?</p>
<p>Also, just because I figure it's worth a shot... Anyone willing to say what my chances are for the college ED?</p>
