<p>Hi QuietSilent!
I’m a high school junior as well! If you want to know more about the backgrounds of those who have been accepted to Columbia you should check out this thread : </p>

<p>There are others similar to it from previous years. As for scholarships, I believe Columbia usually gives financial aid due to demonstrated need rather than merit scholarships. You could probably find out more on Columbia’s official website (Columba.edu).
Hope this helps!</p>
<p>QS: when you go to the Columbia admissions pages, how do you interpret their direction on viable applicants’ course choices? ECs?</p>
<p>I’ll be blunt: the fact that you are asking shows that the level of achievement and excellence typical of Columbia admittees seems somewhat foreign to you and that doesn’t bode well.</p>
