<p>Okay, I don’t want to be harsh, but there is no way anyone can chance you at this point. You’ve given us nothing but theoretical information to go on, and while it’s good that you have high goals for yourself, right now you should be focusing on getting high grades in your current classes and figuring out what your extracurricular interests are instead of planning out schedules and predicting grades for yourself for the next three years. In addition, no one really knows what the standards for admission will be when you apply considering the process gets more competitive every year. It seems you already have some impressive accomplishments to your name, so I would advise you to just continue on your current path and try to relax a little. If you want more specific info on SAT scores and whatnot, just look at the info on Columbia’s website, it should give you a pretty good idea.</p>
