<p>I know there are a bunch of posts about your chances on getting into Colombia, but I couldn't resist. I'm currently a junior at a public high school, and i'm ranked 5 out of 497 students. (Top 2%). I just took the ACT for the first time, and I'm guessing my score will be somewhere around a 29 (unfortunatly). I understand that is low, but I was wondering if there would be a chance that I'd still be accepted? I've taken the SAT US history subject test, and got a 740. The AP classes i've taken are :: AP us history (sophmore year), and I am currently taking AP european history, AP calculus AB, AP french, AP english, Honors Physics, and I've been in Honors Wind Ensemble for 2 years. However, I dont have much community service going for me. I'm in National Honor Society, and I've been on Northwind (the literary magazine), Science Club, and Varsity Scholastic Bowl for two years. Next year, i am taking AP statistics, ap english, ap french, ap government/politics, and ap biology. Do I have a shot at making it into colombia?</p>

<p>Thanks!! :)</p>

<p>not to be harsh or anything but i know someone with far more superior courses, SAT, and ACT scores but got deffer-ed. If you have no “hooks” or diversity your most likely going to get rejected since it is extremely competitive.</p>

<p>Considering you misspelled the name of the university multiple times, I’d be worried.</p>
