<p>Alright, so I finished my essay. If any accepted prospects or GS students would be so kind, I'd love to have some unfriendly eyes on it. I promise it's not boring? I was a journalist in a former life, so at the very least it shouldn't be frustrating to read.</p>
<p>It clocks in at 2,141 words. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>Hey I was accepted and will start school next week. If you like I’ll take a look at it and will try to give you some helpful input ;)</p>
<p>i am sorry for my question, but I saw the application online “common application” and all they say is to write an essay of 250 words.
Where’s the question in which I will be required to write a longer essay?</p>
<p>@ ggfggf: If you’re applying to the School of General Studies you will not use the Common Application. GS has their own, specific application. Yes, Columbia College and SEAS have recently switched to the Common App but this is not the case for GS. All of the application information you need is at the GS website.</p>
<p>thank you so much !!</p>
<p>I’d be very interested to ready your essay, I’m just getting ready to write my own.</p>
