<p>I'm looking for any current Columbia GSers willing to give me some feedback on my already-submitted autobiographical essay.*</p>
<p>I submitted my essay in early Feb (for EA Fall '11). I just need to take the GSAE to have my application completed. I'm losing lots of sleep stressing over this whole thing. Luckily, I feel pretty confident with my essay (and the rest of my app), but any friends/family that I've shown my essay to seem to be too nice about it. I'm a little worried that it's not as good as I/they think it is.*</p>
<p>I would really appreciate it if you could give me your (if necessary, brutally) honest opinion of my chances. If I have a pretty good shot, or am getting my hopes too high for nothing, I would love to know. Either way, just knowing where I possibly stand would help give me some peace of mind. Thank you so much in advance for your time and understanding.*</p>
