Hey!! Thanks for chancing me, trying to return the favor. As far as Columbia, RD I’d see you as a match (being Asian might push you too low reach but that is a big might). Honestly, the only reason ED admit %s look so enticing is bc that’s when all the athletes and legacies apply. As a personal preference, I dislike the entire notion of ED. It’s good for fringe applicants to try and buff up their (ie 2200-50 trying to increase odds). But for qualified applicants like you (2300+) ED doesn’t really present any significant pluses. Additionally, like previous posters have mentioned, ED acceptance locks you in. What happens if you get into Columbia ED with a not so nice fi aid package, but UMich or NYU offers you massive aid? That would be pretty sucky. Anyway, don’t stress too much. Your stats are all solid. Try pulling all As 1st semester of senior year to buff up your GPA. Other than that, you should get into AT LEAST one of those schools. Best of Luck!!
