Hello everyone!
I am a rising senior, and I am having trouble deciding between my two top choice schools, Columbia and Yale. I love both of the schools equally, and I want to utilize the slight boost that applying early gives to applicants.
Here are my stats for reference:
ACT: 36 (all subscores)
GPA: 4.0 UW (not sure about weighted- my school’s system is very strange)
National AP Scholar
NACLO Semifinalist
Governor’s School
Linguistics research at Ivy League University + glowing rec from research mentor
Research at Ivy League University last summer (physics research)
Science Olympiad (9th-current)- state awards, invitationals, etc. (golds, silvers, bronzes)- President
Quiz Bowl (9th-current)- captain
Bunch of science clubs and leadership positions
State Research/STEM awareness Program (~10% acceptance rate)
Columbia University Science Honors Program
School’s Red Cross Society- Vice President
Any help would be appreciated!!
