Can I get into Columbia University?

I right now am a High School junior and I am just wondering what type of schools I could get into mainly Columbia. My freshmen year I got a 4.0 with 3 honors classes and I played basketball and volleyball, Sophomore year I got a 4.2 with one AP, and 3 honors, basketball and volleyball again, 4 on the APEH test. I am in a few clubs, and I volunteer at my syngagogue and have been my Youth Groups president now for 3 years. This year I am taking 3 APs and one honors class and I hope to be more involved but I am not sure if I will continue playing sports(does that Matter??). Based on this information what kind of schools can I get into and what types of SAT or ACT scores do I need to get to get into a top Tier college if possible???? Do I have a chance at Columbia? Thanks

Update:

thanks, anyone else? All serious opinions appreciated.

    Al S -- Affirmative action has its roots interior the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and an LBJ government Order in 1965 extending it to federal contractors. In 1970 the Secretary of hard work issued Order No 4 that imposed Affirmative action on a great selection individuals establishments the two public and private and in 1972 a revised order No 4 further colleges. mutually as i think of Obama entered Columbia because of the fact he replaced into an dazzling student it maximum easily might have been an Affirmative action quota subject
