<p>I took Calc 1 and Calc 2 at a college during sophomore year</p>

<p>I have alot of EC's:

<p>Awards: a few math awards, want to try to have physics research published, regional neuroscience competition awards</p>

<p>I don't know if having peculiar hobbies count but I play ukulele and might submit a song just because and I also have an insect collection that I have gathered that I will end up donating to a local museum </p>

<p>I think my essays will be really good as I want to go here and I'll probably start months ahead of time to find the best things to write</p>

<p>Chill out, it has only been 4 hours. Columbia forum isn’t the most active on the board.</p>

<p>The GPA’s gonna hurt you, but your stellar SAT Score and neuroscience competition awards help mitigate that, but I wouldn’t say completely. But I’d say you have as good a shot as anyone else applying in the low-middle range? *Defining middle-high range as people with some national-tier awards and hooks.</p>

<p>this failed miserably</p>
