<p>I submitted my Common Application yesterday to Columbia ED. However, I noticed that on the writing supplement PDF, a portion of the text to my "Why Columbia" essay was chopped off by the Common App footer. I thought it was my dinosaur of a computer acting up, so I sent in the application anyway. However, I did some research, and apparently this is a known glitch of the Common App system. CA support said that I could not do anything about it after submission!!!</p>
<p>I decided to email my essay to <a href="mailto:ugrad-confirm@columbia.edu">ugrad-confirm@columbia.edu</a>, along with a mini explanation of what happened. Today is the deadline, and the admissions office is closed. Was this the right action to take???? I just think that my application should not be ruined -- it's the CA's own fault!! </p>
