Applying ED to Columbia: Essay HELP!?

<p>I'm applying to Columbia and my deadline's Saturday. I'm a little unsure on my essay, and haven't gone over it with any teachers, only a friend who wrote hers on a similar topic last year. Very touchy topic (visiting sibling in prison), but I think I did a decent job focusing on me in it. Anyone care to read, comment?</p>

<p>Sure I'm interested. PM me</p>

<p>I am an adult, college parent & would like to read & critique your essay.</p>

<p>If you're comfortable with sharing your essay with a fellow applicant, by all means PM me too. I've already submitted my app, but if you don't want to PM me your essay I totally understand. Good luck with your application!</p>
