I take it the two topics mentioned above are designated for your commonApp essay? Either will do, provided you’re not counting on the topics as something that will differentiate your work from the other 30K plus essays the adcomms read. It will be your style and quality of writing that will win them over. Also, keep in mind that Columbia also asks for 4 more essays on their supplemental portion of their application, each with a specific question and I’m going to assume those essays carry more weight seeing as my D’s regional admissions officer cited her answers to 2 of the supplemental essays as big pluses to her app standing out. Good Luck to you!
