Hey,

From what I can tell,your stats are certainly Columbia-par...but at this level, the issue isn't whether you've scored above a certain percentile on your SATs, it's what the Columbia admissions staff thinks that you could possibly contribute, as a unique individual, to the college itself.

Seeing as how what's looked for is changed on a yearly basis, it ain't worth it to worry about whether you'll get in at this point. You've done all that you've possibly can and certainly well enough to be a serious candidate ;)
