I think everyone on here knows what perfectionism is like -- witness the number of peole who seem to believe that you're a failure if you don't get 175+ and go to HYS, do a supreme court clerkship then work at Wachtell. I was lucky enough to hit 174 this time around, but I know I'd feel pretty bad if I'd had an off day and gotten 167 (hope I don't sound like a snob now). But you're still in what, the 96-98th percentile?
I don't think undergrad major is a big deal, actually, and especially if your grades are upward-trending then you'll be given more consideration than someone whose grades were flat and had the same GPA as you. The officialguide search can only tell you so much. But take my optimistic advice with a grain of salt -- I'm applying right now too so it's not like I have years of experience to draw on here. Good luck! And maybe we'll run into each other at Columbia...

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm still flabergasted (sp) by my score. I keep thinking about the test and none of it seemed that hard. I'm still having a hard time understanding it. I have always been able to tell with in a couple of points what I would get. Even on a practice test that I took the Saturday after the Terrorist attack when I was mentally out of it (I live in NY) I didn't finish a game and a passage but I knew I would get in the mid 160's and I got a 164. But on the other tests when I was focused I got 174 or 175 and I also felt that the 10/6 test was easier. I was focused and didn't have any problems. Well I guess there is nothing to do until I get the mailing and I sure that at this point I'm just whining so I'll stop. Thanks again for the encouraging words.
