You should really seek helps on the Columbia's forum.
Anyway. My comment: excellent. Work hard, and write impressive essays and get GREAT recommendations.

That's it.

You don't want ED, especially in college.

I think you have a good shot. For the last two years at my highschool, the valedictorians were girls who ended up at Columbia for engineering. Besides the fact that they were the valedictorians, I don't think they had stats as good as yours.
