hey John, check some chance threads on this forum, as well as the early decision result thread, compare yourself to them in terms of extraccuriculars and test scores. Also, take not in that they did not include trivial stuff as you did. Do you honestly think your typing speed and your perfect attendance makes you stand out?
Since your hard figures aren’t that strong, I recommend you to work hard on your essay, or Columbia might be very unlikely.
Where else are you applying?
