How far can great SAT scores as a URM get me?

<p>Not a full "chance" thread, but wanted to ask this somewhat vaguely. As a US-born latino who grew up (grades 2 - 7) in the country his parent's were born, how far can very good SAT scores (mid 2200s) get me? My GPA won't be end up being great by any means, and horrible by CC standards, but the weighted one should be somewhere in the mid-to-upper 4.00s with an extreme upward curve (from two C's freshman year to straight A's junior year) while taking a pretty demanding schedule (~10 APs by the time I graduate). ECs aren't completely absent (president of one club next year), but definitely a weak point.</p>

<p>Guess I ended up going a little more in detail than I wanted, but yeah, how am I looking? My main question is, is it worth applying to Columbia?</p>

<p>It’s worth a shot. +2200s from a non traditional background will catch most people’s attention.</p>
