<p>i know about the personal essay...but...is there another?</p>
<p>Although Columbia’s application for this year is not yet released, last year’s is available for perusal on their site. I would suggest checking that out, as the application probably will not differ much.</p>

<p>yeah i’ve printed/filled that out already.
from reading old forums, it seems like columbia require two essays…but on the latest app there is only a Personal Essay (and a why columbia paragraph)</p>
<p>^yep that’s right. There are also short descriptions of your important ECs, but they hardly take any effort.</p>
