Your stats are excellent, but acceptance to Columbia is extremely difficult and remember there are many other people that are equally and possibly even more qualified than you are, so just keep that in mind. It's a tough world out there, very, very, competitive. Your GPA and class rank are outstanding as well as your extracurriculars, just make sure you write a stellar essay and I'm sure you'll be invited for an interview, so make an excellent impression.
