<p>Hey could you chance me?
I’ve been really wanting to go to columbia since i was younger but as freshman year came around, i got a 3.5 weighted. Although soph and junior year i brought it up with 4.85’s. Although because of freshman year, my gpa will probably be around a 4.38.
My sat’s were a 2210.
My Ec’s are 3 years varsity cross country and winter/ spring track. Captian senior year.
In the mile i got a 4:15 so i was hoping, if it would help, i could possibly be recruited by Columbia as well.
Eagle Scout
Emt 2 years
Office of emergeny management two years
Volunteered at a camp for down syndrome kids past summer
Part of the clubs Students against destructive desicions and french club. 3 years
White male, New jersey
Another key thing i was hoping would help is that my uncle also attended and now has ten year at columbia as a history professor and said that he could try and help get me in if i had the grades.
Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>a bit confused by the title of the thread, but ok
if you want to be a recruited athlete, talk to your school’s athletics director immediately. the process of being a D1 athlete is supposedly very slow and you’ll need the time to meet with columbia scouts.
your SATs seem good, a bit on the lower end, but good. a 4.38 Weighted GPA, out of 5?, also is good, albeit a bit on the lower end. however, as you seem to have a very serious upward trend, as long as you’re in the top 10%, you should be ok for that too.
Your extracurriculars are good (4:15 in high school might make you competitive for the all time Columbia records [Top</a> Performances for Indoor Track & Field (Men) - GoColumbiaLions.comOfficial Web Site of Columbia University Athletics](<a href=“http://www.gocolumbialions.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9600&ATCLID=3741875]Top”>http://www.gocolumbialions.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=9600&ATCLID=3741875) ) and the eagle scout and community service look great! You didn’t list an intended major, so it’s hard to tell if there’s any correlation between what you do out of class and what you would study in college.
also, it’s spelled “tenure”; sorry but it bugged me a bit…</p>
<p>all in all you have not-outstanding stats and scores, but are well within the range needed. Your sports and extracurriculars might help you over the top, especially if you seriously look into getting recruited. otherwise, as always, the ivys depend on a little bit of luck. that being said, good luck!</p>
