<p>Yes, you’re on the right track in terms of grades. What about your ECs? I’m pretty sure that everybody applying for Ivy has good grades which is why the colleges check for your ECs. They want to see what sets you apart; they want to see if you have a life or not :P</p>

<p>No, you’re not on track. Not for Columbia.</p>

<p>I’m not trying to offend you, but Columbia is higher up than that. I’m also a sophomore and have way better grades (all A’s) than you and take harder classes (AP and am taking things older students take), and I think it’ll be really hard for me to get into Columbia (which is where I want to go, major in astrophysics).</p>

<p>Sorry, but I don’t think that’s going to cut it. At all.</p>
