<p>I know my GPA is low. All standardized tests are predicted based off practice test scores. I will be taking them in October and November.</p>

<p>Will be taking World History, English, and Spanish senior year. Will also be taking Calc III and Differential Equations @ CC.</p>

<p>I should have good essays (hopefully) and strong recs.</p>

<p>why do you put NHS at top of your list? unless, it actually means something at your school?</p>

<p>GPA is WAY too low. your “predicted” scores are not high enough to help your case. ECs are unimpressive. </p>

<p>ED chance=10%</p>

3

<p>What do you think my SAT score should be at to “help” me?</p>

<p>I didn’t put NHS on the top of the list on purpose. They are in random order.</p>

4

<p>if you get a 2400, your chances probably go up to 30%</p>

5

<p>“All standardized tests are predicted based off practice test scores.”</p>

<p>Do you mean to say you’re a rising senior who hasn’t taken the SAT yet? Or SAT II’s?</p>

<p>Still, you can’t be too sure about those scores. The rest of the application is weak, and your GPA will hurt you the most.</p>

6

<p>another point: if you take SAT I in october, you will have to take the subject tests november (or vice versa), early decision might not receive the november test in time. so you might be screwed</p>

7

<p>Small chance unless that 3.6 is in the top 5% of your class. Columbia only took about 10% last year, it’s about as hard as HYP now since NYC is the hot spot for college students these days. Asian with low Gpa I just don’t see.</p>
