Are my stats out of range?

GPA: 3.76~3.8 UW with most rigorous courseload
Rank: top 15%, uses UW GPA, class size ~375
SAT: 2260

If applying Columbia ED, would these disqualify me, particularly the rank...

Wouldn't disqualify you. If it's all there is to your application then you might want to be a little worried, but academically it's fine.

There's plenty more. I was just concerned about whether my baseline stats make the cut for Columbia

Columbia's admission's philosophy is holistic. As Lagging suggested, if this is ALL you have going for you, then you need to be worried. Otherwise, if the rest of the app is extremely strong, you will at least be competitive. Beyond that, we can tell you nothing.

You'll want to get yr ranking up a little, but that SAT score is fine. I had a 2260 SAT I and got in RD. That being said, worry more about the quality of your essays and overall application than basic stats.

@itdoesdeath: The rank is my main concern. My school/grade is notoriously competitive, the highest my rank has ever been is top 11%. It'll most likely remain the same. It is unweighted, so I hope adcoms will take that into account.
