<p>Hi, i know my stat s really incomplete, but my estimate should be fairly accurate.
Ethinicity: Asian
Gender: female
School: most competitive IB program in the province( or in the country?)
rank: school doesn't rank.
IB predicted: should be 39 or higher
Percentile: top 5-10%?
SAT: retake in Oct ( should be between 2250-2350)
SAT2 Math : 800
physics and bio: take in nov , should be double 800 based on current practice test score
EC:
In School: create a mini class (10)
organized the school's only 30 hour famine raised over 300 dollars(10)

A marketing researcher for a non-profit organization
Potential president of the only city council composed of youth.</p>

top 1% in AMC 10 and 12 multiple times
top 25% in Canadian math contests multiple times
grade 9-current lifeguard courses
Please chance me for columbia ED</p>
<p>this is way too incomplete, can't judge much, ECs seem weak, sats are competitive, IB 39 predicted is ok, it's high enough that they won't discount you because of it, within the acceptance pool i don't think it's high. if it's a 39/45 then it is low and will hurt chances</p>
<p>I would agree. For a university that is so competitve the members of CC can only say that you are in the ball park but we can't offer any sort of guarantee. If the average applicant has less than a one-in-ten chance of admission, we could say that maybe you have a one-in-three (complete guess based on what you have given us) chance. While that is better than average it is still less than 50 percent.</p>

But you gotta admit, it was beginning to get good, right? Karot, you don't seem like someone who's in it to be an a**hole so I'll heed your words for now, but the next idiot who feels up to arguing foolishness, regardless of whose thread...

<p>this is prime material to get you warned/banned by the admins. while you may not agree with the "tone" of a post or poster (not like you can accurately deduce tone over the internet tho) you have no right to go picking fights with people, especially in other people's posts. </p>
<p>please, there have been a number of people over the past few months who have gotten warned/banned from the columbia forum for flaming. getting the admins involved is no fun for anyone but it will be done if you try and make good on this post</p>
<p>i think a 39 on the IB is good enough...also IB scores are looked at alot like AP scores in that they mainly count for placement after you get in. You have left our the most important stat as karot said which is your gpa....however it may be calculated....even if your school doesn't calculate it there will still be conversion scales and the like. At my HS they didn't calculate gpa but there were conversion scales to convert the grades we got...which were on the 1-7 IB scale to grades on the 4.0 scale.</p>
<p>I think our scale is like this 5- 86% (in Canadian scale: 86-100% =A) 6=90% and 7=95-96% , based on my current predicted score, i will get an 4.0average</p>
