<p>Columbia's admit rate is 12.8%. Naturally, surely a perfect scorer would have better than a 13% chance. EVEN IF SAT SCORES WERE COMPLETELY DISREGARDED, perfect scorers on average have stronger GPAs and are more accomplished than non-perfect scorers.</p>
<p>You guys have a very false image of admissions to Harvard.</p>
<p>This guy OBVIOUSLY has a VERY good chance of getting in. He has near perfect scores on SAT IIs and strong extra curriculars. Based on this information alone, I would say he has a very good chance of getting in. However, he also has the hook of being a USAMO qualifier.</p>
<p>On a more general note, while being "unique" is all and well and does help in admissions, the process is very score/grade oriented. The OP obviously has superb scores and grades and uniqueness being a USAMO qualifier. There are clearly NOT "5000 of you." Further, being a USAMO qualifier is unique in it of itself.</p>
<p>Don_Corleone, you have a very good chance. Good luck with your application!</p>
<p>dayum!!!! USAMO! i was already quite happy in being an AIME qualifier...but now its like 0<em>o ugh...i think some people here are jealous/bitter (me included). damn u asian boys and ur perfect standarized test scores! ></em>< i'd say 80% for you but with ivy leagues u never know.</p>
