1) You can’t tell really, I personally got in ED with a score of 2000 (although my SAT II was much better) and according to the decisions thread there are other people with even lower scores who got in. I think 2150 is perfectly average for Columbia so it won’t hurt you but it won’t give you an edge either.

2) Additional recs are good if it’s someone who acutually knows you well and can tell something important about you. If you’re convinced he can write a good letter, I’d say go for it.
