Columbia University Application

Columbia  University  Early Decision Application

I  had identified  Columbia as one of the  best Early Decision  choices.  Columbia offers  excellent education opportunities across a range of majors.  Being located in New York City  gives students access to an unparalleled range of  cultural  activities.  Students interested in business and economics  are in the heart of the US economy .

 Saying yes is an Easy answer if accepted ED at Columbia.

Columbia has a interesting webpage on What Columbia looks for in a student. Do read this to make sure you  fit the profile they are looking for. At Columbia you will have a class of highly motivated  achievers  surrounding you.

 Columbia also uses the common ap and has  a comprehensive supplement.
 The supplementary essays are:
 1. In 150 words or fewer, please briefly describe which single activity listed in the Activity section of your application are you most proud of and why.

The key to this prompt is selecting a   activity.  Try to select an activity that  is unique and shows the diversity of your interests.  Be proud of your accomplishments but don't boast or exaggerate.

2. Please list the following (150 words or fewer for each question):

• the titles of the required readings from courses during the school year or summer that you enjoyed most in the past year;
• the titles of books read for pleasure that you enjoyed most in the past year;
• the titles of print or electronic publications you read regularly;

and the titles of the films, concerts, shows, exhibits, lectures and other entertainments you enjoyed most in the past year.
 Outside of your  schoolwork try to select a set of books  that shows a  clear interest in a  field. However make sure your list   indicate a diversity of eclectic interests  and influences.
Adding a Columbia author to the list can't hurt. Jeffrey  Sachs  End of Poverty   is a thought provoking read
