My first choice school is Columbia and I was wondering if my scores can give me a strong chance to get accepted. I read the forum and some parts said you needed 22+ on all sections to at least have a Strong shot at getting in. I also was not sure how heavily Columbia looks at the PAT.My GPA is currently around 3.9 for both science and cumulative. I have a lot of friends in the NYC area and was hoping to attend CDM. Also I hope to specialize in the future. Thanks for all your help!

Your scores are fine. Worry about the interview.

With a 3.9 gpa and 23 AA you have a chance at any school, even harvard or ucla.

You'll probably get in if you apply early. I wouldn't tell them you are Pre-Medical though, that may confuse them.

 

[molar3]

is your TS 23 too? you sound pretty set buddy
apply early and pray for a columbia interview!

No, TS is graded a bit weird. My TS was 22. I'm just trying to get a gauge of what they are looking for. Looking at predents, I saw some students with 25's get waitlisted so I guess it's unpredictable.

I got in with similar stats. Columbia is big on DAT scores, and less so on GPA. Just do well on your interview, or don't bomb at least, and I think you should be good.

interpretation = personality issues.

that was sarcasm by molar3. OP has a very good app on paper and thus obviously has a good chance at columbia (or any school) as long as he can deliver on the intangibles.

seriously, though, the fact that some pre-dents can't pick up on that kind of stuff is exactly what leads us to give advice with the "unless you're socially awkward" clause
