I am having trouble deciding whether I apply ED to Uchi or Columbia (If i decide to do the student-debt route). Would I have a good chance of being accepted to Uchi? Here are my stats (I’m a junior)
I think I want to apply to Columbia ED 2023 and don’t know if I’d get in. Sorry if there’s no way I can get in and I just have an inflated ego
Objective: I don’t know what I exactly want to major in, but if I went to Columbia, I’d either do neuroscience and behavioral studies, psychology, or poli sci! I want to go to law school and be a medical malpratice/ class action

SAT I: not taking
ACT: 32 (33 English, 31 Math, 30 Reading, 33 Science) (This will be going up at least one point)
SAT II: not taking
weighted GPA (out of 100) 95.5 (upward trend) (Hardest course load possible)
Unweighted GPA (out of 100) 94 (upward trend)
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): Unranked
AP (place score in parenthesis): Including senior year APS: AP LANG, APUSH, AP CHEM, AP LIT, AP GOV, (AP BIO OR AP PHYSICS), AP CALC AB, AP SPANISH
Major Awards: nothing major, gone to state every year on the horn, member of youth symphony, at least 1x national champion brass band member,
Subjective:

Extracurriculars (place leadership in parenthesis): Tri-M honors society (Chance of being President), 4 years of band (Chance of being President), School Leader (won’t know exact role yet), Catholic School Gay, will be in NHS and Science NHS, started a staff interview column for our website, going to create a mock trial club
Job/Work Experience: A LOT! (I have to pay for my gas) Baseball fields, age 15 (left at end of the season). Panera, ~ 11 months (Quit because scheduling became a MESS and I already have a busy schedule), Local ice cream place, ~ one month (Unprofessional), Target: about 1 month so far, I’m planning on staying even after high school if I can (did you guys know target pledged to raise their mini wage to $15 by 2020? I’m making BANK and my pay is going up year by year)
Volunteer/Community service: Will have about 200 hours done at local youth court and truancy panels, also will become a part of a victim assistance project for my county (I also do a little bit of stuff here and there like Alex’s lemonade stand/ preparing food for kids cancer ward parents, but don’t know whether I should include that. I feel like it might seem like I do all of this because I want to seem like a good person when I actually just want to help out)
Summer Activities: Travelling to Austria with a local youth symphony, might be doing a Chicago course this summer if I’m accepted?
Essays: Obviously not written yet, but I have a good idea of what I want to write about and I’m confident in my writing abilities, might talk about how I used to feel a desire to not fit the stereotype of being gay but now I embrace it, or how coming out was not as big of a deal as I expected it to me.
Teacher Recommendation: They will be excellent, even though my grades aren’t as perfect as my friends (I’m talking over 100 gpas, thank god my school does not rank), I pride myself on having really strong relationships with teachers and actually being friends with them.
Counselor Rec: This is iffy, do not talk to my counselor a lot but she likes me.

Other

State (if domestic applicant): Kansas
School Type: Private School
Ethnicity: White
Gender: Male
Income Bracket: $200,000+ (Sucks, I barely fit the 200,000+ territory, I do need aid)
Hooks (URM, first generation college, etc.): Gay (not that it will do much), Play the French horn (I know this does NOT account for much, but I’m good and planning on obtaining a concentration in music if accepted), I’m a good person
Should I tell them I own a meme page on Instagram that has 13k followers since Uchi has a thing for quirky applicants? (I post appropriate stuff so it would be ok if they found it)
