<p>You seem to have as much a chance as anyone qualified for Columbia. Your scores qualify you, but bear in mind most of the applicants are qualified. Your school doesn’t seem to deflate grades based on your SAT I and II scores… unless you had 780+ and 2300+ scores (since all your grades are 92+) then your GPA would be deflated.</p>

<p>You should talk to Columbia about its basketball team. From what I have heard it is rather mediocre.</p>

<p>^um yes and no, the ivy league is still division one, columbia is close to the bottom of the ivy for basketball, and being on the Columbia basketball team means you get into Columbia. So there still is a ton of demand to be on the team. You do have to be really fcking good to make the team, we just don’t get the superstars, because we force people to work too hard on academics, and don’t offer sports scholarships and historically have not been the top. But if the op is really that good then he should definitely try to be recruited.</p>
