<p>This is nitpicky, but if I was an admissions officer, and I visited your site, I probably wouldn't want to know "so and so founded the club" on the main page. It seems rather overt, like you want people visiting your site to know specifically "I FOUNDED ECO". Perhaps making a "History of the Club" link, and putting it there, would be more suitable? Personally I don't even make a mention of who founded my organization at <a href="http://www.safeap.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.safeap.org&lt;/a>, so it's probably out of personal preference and an inconsequential thing! Just something to look over though.</p>

<p>Stats wise you seem like a typical Columbia Applicant, exceptions being your work experience and volunteer hours, which are good, and not something everyone has.</p>

<p>the 4s on the APs might hurt your chances; otherwise, ECs and academic transcipt look pretty decent. good luck!</p>

4

<p>I have to say I agree with chewondave.</p>

<p>Your site says:
"ECO is the world's premier nonprofit, nongovernmental organization (NGO) with the sole and unique purpose of preserving the environments in our community: Ojai, California, and the world through service and commitment."</p>

<p>The "world" thing is definitely hyperbole and reduces your credibility especially in light of the listed community service projects performed by the organization.</p>

<p>Please don't take offense, I just don't want you to take something that is a positive and turn it into a negative.</p>

5

<p>ill change it</p>

<p>"the 4s on the APs might hurt your chances; otherwise, ECs and academic transcipt look pretty decent. good luck!"</p>

<p>I thought AP scores didn't really matter. And 4s certainly aren't subpar.</p>

7

<p>In other words, 4's won't make you stand out.</p>

8

<p>4'a sre not bad. They are still highly above averages of 2 and 3</p>

9

<p>nothing special...average RD is 10% or so, id give you 7-8%</p>
