Will I get in?

Chance Me / Match Me
1

<p>Okay, I’m actually a real goddamned person, not some 1500 ■■■■■-assed prep school kid. My friend Matt and I think that this site only represents a minority, an upper minority. Well, I’m representing real kids… just okay people. I applied to Columbia College E.D. and I don’t know if its just wishful thinking. Some kids are flippin prodigies and its depressing me.</p>

<p>My highest SAT scores: 690 verbal, 750 math
SAT IIs luckily don’t matter, they are only for placement.
My weighted GPA is about 4.3, unweighted 3.4? I am ranked 10 out of 607.
I attend a suburban public high school, about 3000 kids. (Rancho Cucamonga, CA)
My essay was okay?
I’m Korean…
OH yeah, including this year… 8 APs, 9 honors classes.</p>

<p>My last semester of junior year I didn’t get any A’s. Still had a 3.6 though, and I still remain number 10.</p>

<p>I played tennis 4 years, 2 varsity. I started an anti-substance abuse club, 3 years. I was the HOBY ambassador. I was class vice-president for 2 years. I’m in NHS. I was the “director of cultural affairs” for the multi-cultural club. I’m president of amnesty international. OH yeah, I’m in academic decathalon too.</p>

<p>No big awards or anything. I was a homecoming princess, I put that down. I got an award from the city council for volunteer work during the grand prix fires.</p>

<p>I had an interview and I think it went well…</p>

<p>That’s me… What do you think?</p>

<p>without even reading the contents, yes you will get in. why? because i can guarantee that most posts in here are of people like you asking questions like this with uber high credentials asking if they’ll get into ivy schools.</p>

10

<p>actually not, jerk face. i actually adressed this if you would read my post. WHY would i care about your post if you didn’t even read mine? lol.</p>

11

<p>geez… kissoff… you’re asking just about everyone and anything…</p>

<p>I absolutely agree with you that this site represents students far above the average. Although your comments are accurate, you are definitely not an “average” student. Your SAT is above average, your GPA is above average. Think about, you are 10 out of 607, meaning there are 597 students ranked below you (impressive math skills, i know). I hate to tell you this, but you fit right in with the rest of the board.</p>

<p>To answer your question:yes, I’d say you are quite competitive (do you think that the average student is competitive at Columbia? No.)</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

15

<p>thanks for the objective comment!</p>

16

<p>Columbia is an Ivy. Hmm… Show me your SAT IIs, how’s your essay ? You are in good shape.</p>

17

<p>my unweighted is actually 3.6, my SAT IIs are horrible… supposidly not a huge deciding factor. my essay isn’t fantastic either. those are probably my two biggest insecurities.</p>
