<p>i know this has been posted 370857388715 times but i want to ask to have a feel if i am on a right path
currently i am a junior (next year senior)
2100 sat- 650 CR, 780M, 670 W (i know i can raise my writing since i usually get around a 700-730) and i will retake it </p>

<p>sat math 1-700 (before i even learned trig so i will retake it )
biology-660 (i know its low but its my safety test if i need a science)
just took us history (expecting a 700-730) w/o studying so i will retake it next year
just finished pre-cal so i will take math 2 (hoping for 750+) </p>

<p>a bunch of awards (NHS, summa cum laude national latin exam, academics and athletics awards) </p>

<p>i have been in clubs- i have been constant in math team, swim team, and math peer tutoring. </p>

<p>do physical therapy office service and have done other services
did OPERATION FUN- a summer camp for mentally disabled kids</p>

<p>just applied for a job and barnes and noble adn a tutoring center </p>

<p>since i go to a small private school we dont have many courses that are offered but i am taking the hardest ones (one ap this year and 3 nxt year with an advanced biology course)
in top 5% of my class this year i think im #1-3 out of 160 kids </p>

<p>i cant really have leadership since the only ppl that are chosen as presidents or vps of clubs are seniors but i did write down my name as freshman homeroom representative next yer </p>

<p>so what are my chances and what other ivy leagues can i get into?</p>

<p>You’re in an OK position. If you’re going for engineering you’re probably a bit better off. Otherwise, it’s probably down to your school. My best advice is look who your school sends to Ivies and compare yourself to them. If your private school is rich suburban overachievers, I’d be doubtful. On the other hand, if it’s more small-and-earnest-alternative-to-public school, you’ll be better off.</p>

<p>Consistent community service/charity-type stuff is nice to see. That’s a plus.</p>

<p>Thanks JacobJ! my school usually sends like 3 or 4 to ivy leagues.
A girl last year got into Harvard and from what I hear she was an alright student bud had a 800 on cr so idk what that means?
and no its not the rich suburban school
yeah i love doing community service and helping out others and hope to continue it in college</p>

<p>Do I even stand a chance in getting into Columbia?
I have a 1900 SAT score (1220 in C.R. and Math) and a 3.9 GPA. I am taking all honors and ap classes. I am in the top 10% of my high school, which has 415 students in my graduating class. I am a member of the Environmental Club in my school. I am also a member of the International Language Honor Society for Spanish. I have done more than 100 hrs of community service at a day care center in my town. Do I even stand a chance?</p>
