Your university-level research experience while still in high school will make you more attractive to lots of universities and for merit scholarships, especially if you are planning to major in something related to that research. Your shot at admission to Columbia will still be slim like everyone else who has comparable stats and research experience, but it will certainly give you a lot to say in your essay as to why you are choosing Columbia and why you are a good candidate there. It will help! Just keep in mind it will help at other places, too. Congratulations on securing this awesome research opportunity!
