<p>I have always wanted to go to Columbia and after recently touring the campus, I can't imagine going anywhere else. I would appreciate it so much if someone could give me some advice on how I can improve my chance. Currently I am a rising junior with a 4.0 GPA. My unweighted average is a 96 and my weighted average is a 100. I intend to major in either history or political science.

<p>Those are really your only EC’s? You need to buckle down and find things you’re passionate about. ASAP. Go. Do it. Bye. Sorry but Columbia is competitive as h***, and your EC’s are nowhere close to the level of admits.</p>
<p>Score a mid 2200+ or 34+ on the ACT and you’ll be in the running at least.</p>
