Asked by confused & college bound
I am a junior in high school and I go to a private Christian prep school and here are the classes I have taken so far (and the grades I made each semester in parenthesis): Freshman year: English 1 (A & A) Spanish 1 (A & A) Bible 1 (A & A) Geometry (A & A) World History (A & A) Drama (A & A) Sophomore year: English 2 (A & A) Spanish 2 (A & A) Bible 2 (A & B+) Honors Algebra 2 (B+ & B+) Honors Biology (B+ & B+) Junior Year (currently am taking): Honors American Lit (A) Spanish 3 (A) Bible 3 (A) Honors Math IV (trig/ precal) (B+) Honors Chem (B+) U.S. History (A) Yearbook (A) Next year I plan to take: AP Lit Gov/ Econ Honors Bible 4 Yearbook TA We only have 6 class periods so do you think I need another year of math? (AP Calculus AB or AP Statistics) or should I take Anatamy? OR should I see about taking Spanish 4? My school doesn't currently have it, but I may be able to do independent study. I am very involved with volunteer work and help plan the volunteer/ missions activities at my high school. I was in drama my freshman and sophomore years (now an officer) and am in key club, pep club (officer), and evangelism club (officer). I also plan on being yearbook editor (and possibly newspaper editor) next year. I hope to be senior class president on student council next year and possibly evangelism vice president. I hope to be an art history major with a minor in languages. What do you think are my chances of being accepted to Columbia??? As far as volunteering goes I'd say I'll have at least 200 hours by the end of this school year (in this school year only). Does this play any importance in Columbia's decision? I took the psats this year and I think I got somewhere between 1500-1600. I'm not very good with testing. Is the SAT really impotant with Columbia's decision? Any help is great! Thanks so much!!!!
