<p>Just to verify, it needs to be 600 characters with spaces, right?</p>
<p>I would appreciate any feedback. I'm a writer, and disgracing myself in the short span of 600 characters with spaces (a very short span, indeed) would be . . . well, disgraceful. The problem is, I know I tend to philosophize and ramble. It's entirely possible that I focused too much on emotions in my essay and skimmed over the important facts--"this is why Columbia is my being," "this is why Columbia encompasses my heart and soul," etc.</p>
<p>Please message me. Anyone who has been accepted already is a genius in my eyes. Maybe if you even wanted to share your own "Why Columbia" essay . . .</p>
