Chance me for Columbia ED- 3.99 UW, 34 ACT [<$30k, visual art, art history, environmental science]

So a few things:

You have two years of two languages if I’m reading correctly. But that doesn’t work: Three to four years of one world language (ancient or modern) taken during high school.

I will say that’s not necessarily an eliminator but it might be. My daughter got into a very selective LAC (not Columbia selective) with two years in one language but the school cancelled the third year over summer and the counselor noted this.

Science - did you just have two? You said 3 credits - do you mean 3 other classes? Were they lab sciences?

Have you checked the NPCs of all the schools you are looking at - for example, Syracuse, etc.

I wouldn’t take the ACT again.

I would say no to Columbia - but if there’s a portfolio involved, you never know.

It’s highly rejective - so keep that in mind. And you are rural, that will help. Transgender - I don’t believe helps.
