<p>As an extra question, for the “List the films, concerts…other entertainments you enjoyed most in the past year.” supplement, would video games be an acceptable input as well?</p>

<p>Can’t edit my post, so I’m going to triple post sorry. Would somebody be willing to read and review my essay for the Columbia supplement for this prompt? I want to write about this specific book but I do not know if my essay is necessarily good.</p>

<p>“Please tell us what you found meaningful about one of the above mentioned books, publications or cultural events.”</p>

<p>I’ll read your essay if you’d like</p>

<p>your academics and ECs are both very awesome. I think you have a very good chance.</p>
