how many people read the essays? who reads them?

<p>just wondering. younger people? older people?
and how does the college essay process work in the admissions office?</p>

<p>The essays are a way for them to evaluate you as a person.</p>

<p>i know but do you know how many people read them?
it would really stink to have one reader (in a really terrible mood) review my essay, ya know?</p>

<p>I highly doubt it’s just one reader.</p>

<p>Heck the stupid SAT essay is read by TWO people. Certainly, a respectable University like Columbia would have more than one person read it.</p>

<p>Go look at the Columbia website. You will see all the people that work in admissions. You can even see the person that works your region. Our admissions rep came to our school to meet all the ED kids in the beginning of November. She has been with Columbia for 20 years.</p>
