<p>Is anyone else using their common app essay for the Columbia essay? I'm thinking of using it because I really like it, but I'm afraid it's too general. Are you guys putting specific Columbia things into your C essays? I don't think I can do that with my common app one, though I have tried. Yeah, so if anyone is on the same boat, I'd like to know what you guys are doing.</p>
<p>PS. Please don't tell me that if I really wanted to apply to Columbia I should've written an essay specifically for it and if I can't even do that then I should reconsider even applying. That's really not the case so please keep such comments to yourself. Thanks</p>
