<p>Hi. Are there anyone who are currently with Columbia GS or alumnis who can give me tips on what they are looking for in their essays? Sopke to admissions and the nice lady there said that a lot of emphasis is placed on the essay!</p>
<p>Thanks a million!</p>
<p>Come guys...Help a brother out!</p>
<p>Try to focus on your greatest accomplishment and how will those experiences prepare you for the GS program. The autobiographical essay should be around 1500 to 2000 words.</p>
<p>thanks redlinekid2....anyone else like comment?</p>
<p>Just be honest. Don't write what you think an admissions officer wants to hear, write for yourself.</p>
