Columbia Class Of 2020 Shares Its College Essays

In this next part of our introduction to the CC/SEAS Class of 2020, we decided to take a different approach. Sure, we could share all of the funny, shocking, and downright strange messages we had access to—and believe us, we have a lot of screenshots that didn’t make the cut— but somehow those short excerpts don’t seem to fully acquaint us with the various prefrosh characters. Luckily, the Class of 2020 really went above and beyond in sharing a variety of material with each other–so much so, that these budding Lions even shared their Common App essays and Columbia supplementals in a public group (similar to our peers in the Class of 2017). We think that these essays provide a much richer idea of what we’ll be dealing with next year. To help you prepare, Bwog is sharing some of the prefrosh admission essays. All essays we found are included to the fullest extent available.

*Note: The prefrosh did not consistently share quality pictures of their admissions essays. Bwog apologizes, though we hope you’re entertained regardless.
