I got a C in Apworld last year- can I still get into Columbia???
Answered

I have a 3.8 cumulative unweighted first sem of junior year, a 4.0 first sem rn, hoping to get to 3.9 unweighted senior. I got a 79% in Ap world last year. Will this kick me out of Columbia running? I have a stunning EC list, but I’m worried it won’t be enough.

Can you clarify your grades? What is your current overall unweighted GPA? Sharing your per-semester grades doesn't really provide enough information to answer your question with any accuracy.

Also, can you answer these as well? How many APs do you plan to take? What are your top ECs? What are your test scores?

Thanks

Am doing an internship running media for a large corporation, I currently run the media accounts for my job, I have worked as an assistant director for youth theater and youth showchoir, I do badminton, and I’m in honors choir, president of GSA, founder of the choir students committee, and have won short film competitions. I meant my unweighted is 3.85 currently overall, but my first semester gpa right now is 4.0 , and I don’t have test scores yet.

If you could provide me with a test score to aim for to increase my likelihood,that could be beneficial as well. Hope this helps!
