Columbia has been my dream school for as long as I can remember (my dad went to Fu for undergrad, grad, and then got his PhD there, so I practically grew up on campus what with all the times he made us drive into the city to walk around or eat lunch there). Anyway, I’m trying to decide on what topic would be best for my college essay. Right now, I’m considering the following two:


My relationship with my autistic older brother and how I’ve had to grow up faster because of it/what I’ve learned through our interactions
How, being an Iranian-American, I find it difficult to identify with either group/what I have learned about myself over the years


Which do you think is better? Also, what were your college essay topics?

Thanks!
