<p>As long as you bring it up and continue taking challenging courses as well as doing ECs and getting great test scores you’ll have as good a chance as anyone else. Don’t stress about it, everything happens for a reason and if you’re meant to go to Columbia you’ll end up there and if you don’t there a thousand other colleges out there that I’m sure would love to have you.
