<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am just about finished with my "sense of who you are" essay for Columbia, but I just want to make sure that this will be the essay question for our class (2014). Does Columbia change their question annually or update their application? I am using the one on their website right now in PDF form.

it is the 2008-2009 application.</p>
<p>Do you think it will be any different?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>doubt the personal statement essay will change</p>
<p>(I remember Columbia’s prompt was extremely vague and non-restrictive, so anything describing yourself will do)</p>
<p>it should be; columbia’s essay is designed not only to assess your writing but also what you choose to write about</p>
<p>I was asking myself the same thing earlier. Columbia gives you a lot of different topic options though.</p>
<p>"it should be; columbia’s essay is designed not only to assess your writing but also what you choose to write about "</p>
<p>It should be the same? Or different?</p>
<p>just curious:
does columbia follow the common app w/ supplement or does it have its own application?</p>
<p>Columbia has its own application</p>
