<p>Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to chance me for Early Decision to Columbia? Of course, I am being realistic and assembling my safeties and matches for when I inevitably don't get in, but Columbia is my absolute first choice, and you're supposed to reach for the stars, right? I'm looking to major in Linguistics.</p>
<p>Here are my stats:</p>
<p>SAT I: Didn't take (did horribly on PSAT and all practice tests)
ACT: 34 (35 eng, 36 read, 35 sci, 30 math)
SAT II: Only took World History so far and got a 720. Missed the June date, so might take Bio in the fall, but I probably won't send it in to Columbia and just wait for RD to send it in to other places.</p>
<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.95 (Rank 8/576 last time I checked)
AP: Gotten scores back for APUSH (4), Psych (4), and Enviro (3...). Waiting for scores for Bio and U.S. Gov.</p>
<p>Junior Year Course Load: IB Theory of Knowledge, Pre-Calculus, IB World Lit, AP/IB German IV, AP Bio, regular Econ (state requirement), AP U.S. Gov, Advanced Choir. All weighted except Econ and Choir.
Senior Year Course Load: AP Euro, AP English Lit&Comp, AP Physics A, AP Music Theory, AP/IB German V, AP Calc AB, Advanced Choir. All weighted except Choir.</p>
<p>Major Awards: AP Scholar, plus a lot of awards in ecs (see below)

DECA (Secretary 12, one of the top in the state for test score junior year, 2 years)
Student Council (Freshman Class Treasurer, Class Representative 10-12, 4 years),
