<p>You have a lot of legacy at Columbia and you’re doing ED, so I’d say low reach.
Georgetown-low reach
I think you’re only supposed to mention high school awards, sorry.
William and Mary-Match (if in state)
Virginia-Match (if in state)
Cornell-high match/low reach.</p>

<p>Does anyone even know if Columbia counts grad school offspring as legacies? Most top colleges do not.</p>

<p>As an ORM from an overrepresented state, Columbia is a big reach with current scores. Even as a legacy I think they’d want higher scores. They would also expect you to be very close to the top of your class. They figure out a rank for those whose schools don’t rank.</p>

<p>i just found out, no. only my uncle went to SEAS which they would count, but since he’s my uncle…probably doesnt factor in much? ):</p>
