<p>^this is highly deceiving,</p>
<p>1) You went to an ultra competitive public high school and managed a 2310 on the SAT (putting you at the 75th percentile for columbia)</p>
<p>2) you did some great community work following katrina (sells well)</p>
<p>3)the 3.28 is after your freshman year was complete no? didn’t you apply to columbia with a 3.86 or 3.7+? [you must have done quite badly second semester if that is the case]</p>
<p>4) you own a fcking business that generates a significant and consistent profit, this changes things quite a bit.</p>
