Really want Columbia or UVA. Chances at T-14? Thanks!

Harvard is likely with 3.5+/170+ URM.

Thank you Mr. Rawls

How heavily are softs weighted? Frankly, I wasn't really involved on campus until Junior year. Although, each summer I had an internship/work experience.

no one in LS admissions will care about your campus involvement or the quality of your internships (small bump to fulbright or rhodes or TFA ect.). clubs and activities and shit are a flame. you just should do something so you don't have blank spaces but it sounds like you already did that.

just keep your GPA up, hit all of YHSCCNP, and you'll have a great cycle

jbagelboy nailed it when he said softs don't mean shit.

I don't mean to hi-jack but is the URM boost for Puerto-Ricans less than both MA and AA boosts, if so how much?

You'll get at least most of the T14. I just enjoy that you brought your GPA to the thousandths

As Dr. Dre said, you're kind of a hybrid between a URM cycle and a regular cycle... so you have a solid shot at H - less so at YS. But Columbia/T6 (and UVA???) are solid with the latter hopefully showering you in $$$
