<p>Doesn’t seem to be bad. I think your chances seem pretty high since you have solid scores and are an Hispanic female.</p>

<p>SAT score is a bit low, but not unheard of at columbia. you obviously have great academics, but I think your extracurriculars are not particularly strong: sure, you have several academic honors which may look fancy at first, but all that means is that your grades were good, which you can tell from your GPA - honors societies and such are just redundant. the research is nice though, did you include information about it in your application?</p>

<p>all in all, i mean, i think you have a good shot, better than most people, but it’ll depend on the other factors of your application - essays and whatnot. good luck</p>

<p>Make sure your essays/interview humanize you. I would also put your chances as higher than most, but your SAT score combined with the lack of compelling ECs is troubling.</p>

<p>Also, the fact that you applied as undecided is not particularly good. Be careful, or you could be perceived as just another valedictorian with no personality.</p>

<p>Hispanic Female+Valedictorian+Viable SAT Scores= Very Strong Chances</p>
