Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I have decided to apply Early Decision to Columbia, but I am unsure about my chances of getting in. Any opinions/suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you so much!</p>

<p>I am a Caucasian girl attending a magnet school for Government and International Studies in Richmond, Virginia. </p>

<p>GPA: 4.0 (unweighted, but my school uses 4.5 for A+’s, so I’ve received B+’s in Chemistry and Spanish, and a B in Physics, but everything else is A’s and A+’s.)</p>

<p>SAT: 2210 overall
Math: 680
Critical Reading: 770
Writing: 760
(taking the SAT again Oct. 4)</p>

<p>SAT IIs:
US History: 780
Literature: 760
French: 740</p>

<p>APs:
European History: 5
US History: 5
English Language: 5
US Government: 5
French Literature: 5
French Language: 4</p>

<p>Activities:
Model Congress: 4 years
Model UN: 4 years
Debate: 3 years
National Honor Society
National French, Spanish, English, and History Honor Societies </p>

<p>*I am the President of Model Congress Club, and I have won committee awards at Harvard and Princeton Model Congress Conferences.
*I am the Policy Debate Team Captain, and my partner and I have placed 2nd and 5th at two different state debate tournaments, which qualified us for nationals last year.
*I am Secretary of Model UN and National French Honor Society.
*I also participated in a summer scholarship program called High School Diplomats, which allowed me to live and study with Japanese exchange students at Princeton one summer, and then travel to Japan for 3 weeks the following summer, for free. </p>

<p>I am most worried about my Math SAT I score, as well as the fact that I took Trigonometry twice – once my sophomore year and finished with a C+, then again my junior year and finished with an A. I am taking college level Calculus this year, but will this hurt my chances of getting into Columbia? I also had a C+ for the 2nd semester of Physics, but finished with a B. </p>

<p>I have no interest in pursuing a career in math or science though – I’ve taken 6 years of French, 5 of Spanish, and 2 of Italian, and 7 history courses, and I want to be a lawyer. </p>

<p>Thank you so much again for your time!</p>
