<p>I think the lack of IB courses in your junior and senior years will hurt you (j/k) ;)</p>

3

<p>Yes, but it’s contingent on how well you performed in those courses.</p>

4

<p>I have a 3.9 UW GPA, 4.4 weighted… got a 5 on APUSH, 4 on AP Chem, and I have yet to take my IB Exams.</p>

5

<p>Sounds great. Pair up those stats with some good test scores and you’ll have a great shot at Columbia.</p>

6

<p>Are you allowed to take 4 HL’s?
Otherwise, you’ve got one of the most rigorous schedules they’ll see so stop fretting :D</p>
