<p>I went through many years of high school thinking of Columbia, and I’m ending up not even going there; don’t worry too much. Really. It will help you more in the long run if you enjoy high school, get involved, and work hard for the sake of getting good grades/learning WITHOUT thinking about college yet. It’s good to be aware that certain things may help your application, but don’t always be consciously analyzing your life in terms of getting into college. </p>
<p>Your course load is also really impressive, as I see it. I didn’t take an AP until Junior year (took 4), and took Algebra II freshman year. And I was named a Rabi Scholar at Columbia (science research scholar). Over the next few years keep a lookout for great internships/experiences, such as doing research; they can really help.</p>
<p>DON’T STRESS OUT. You will be fine. Be happy =)</p>
