Colleges and Universities A-Z Columbia University

<p>I love Columbia, but I'm afraid that my EC's lack a bit.
Assuming that my grades are good enough, can you guys tell me if my EC's are, too?
I'm an Asian female and I'm a junior, applying to Fu. </p>

<p>Volunteering @ Hospital 500hours
Tutoring Math/French 200hours
Varsity Swim (three years)
Journalism
French Club
Science Bowl
+ high positions in a few other clubs that i wont mention in order to not get recognized. my classmates lurk around CC, apparently. haha
I've also won a few essay competitions and a science fair.</p>

<p>oh wow i bump.
bumpity</p>

<p>SAT 2 Scores are very important to SEAS. What did you get on those and what was your SAT reasoning score?</p>

4

<p>700 BIOM
800 MATHIIC</p>

<p>SAT (I’ve retaken it, and i think I did LOADSSS better this time xP) 2200
790 WR
700 CR
710 M</p>

5

<p>I’m taking chem and us. I’m also retaking biom.</p>

6

<p>You haven’t fullfilled the SAT 2 requirment for SEAS.
The Columbia site states that a SEAS student must take a chem or physics SAT 2 along with any Math SAT 2. You’ve taken math, but have failed to take either chem or phys. Register for the Jan SAT administration asap.</p>

7

<p>Oh I know.
I’m taking chem in june.
I’m a junior…xP</p>

8

<p>lol 6 replies… four of them by me. help guys help :P</p>

9

<p>You don’t need to take U.S. history, and the bio m score already seems to be good enough, but I guess you could improve it a bit.</p>

10

<p>if i’m going into engineering, SAT USH wouldnt help me much? </p>

<p>so
a 700 biom
800math2c
and a
700-800 chem
would cut it?</p>

11

<p>A score of 700-800 would cut it for, but a score of 750 or above would be ideal for chem.</p>

12

<p>Wait, so you’re a junior applying to go to college a year early?</p>

13

<p>nope
I’m just a neurotic junior who wants to get in next year. i reaaaalllly like columbia. i’m applying early decision next year, too. i’ll be getting my sat scores on tuesday, so i’ll update then. I originally posted this thread to ask you all if my EC’s were good enough, though. hehhe any thoughts?</p>

14

<p>You have solid community service hours, but lack leadership positions.</p>

<p>Competitions are good though. Were they regional, state, national, or international? How well did you place?</p>

<p>Also, try to bring up that SAT score if at all possible.</p>

15

<p>I have high leadership positions in all the clubs that I’m in. (i really dont want to be recognized, so i wont specify… hehe)</p>

<p>the essay comp. and the science fair were both regional… =S</p>

<p>I also have a pretty good hook, and you can PM me if you want to know what it is.</p>
