You have some amazing stats, EC's, major awards, etc. I think you have more than just a 75% of getting in, stats-wise.

Did you apply early?

Wow, thank you! I definitely don't feel like the chances are that high, but hopefully I get lucky I actually applied to Harvard early but I sent out applications to lots of other schools for regular decision, including Columbia

All I can say is: thank God you're not applying ED :P
But yeah, as the others said... you have a superb shot at getting in, as with all the other top schools. Just my .02

I would say ~50%. Have you been recognized for your research in some way? Awards, competitions, etc. or are you sending in a research supplement?
