<p>Pretty good grades and ACT score, but not ECs are probably not good enough for Columbia since you lack any major awards or do anything too noticable. To be honest, you have a somewhat low chance, though you should still have a shot if you write amazing essays.</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback and being honest. This is taking into consideration that I do have SHP admission and an ED app?</p>

<p>SHP is a very good program, but it’s not guaranteed by any means. If you’ve made close contact with one of your instructors in the program, look for one of them to write a recommendation. Also, I think the director said he writes recommendations, but my memory may be off.</p>

5

<p>Yeah, the director does write recommendations. Should I get him to write me one, or have a professor do it instead?</p>

<p>You had a rigorous courseload throughout high school and maintained a high GPA, so that’s definitely great. Your ACT is also good, although your SAT is probably on the lower side for them, but ED might push you up a bit. I’d say you have a decent chance, good luck!</p>
