<p>yeah i mean you definitely seem like a reasonable candidate.</p>
<p>i think they not only look for prior demonstration of academic aptitude–which you clearly offer with your test scores and presumably strong CC grades–but also specificity of interest, i.e. why the unique columbia g.s. program, with its flexibility and simultaneous access to the deep university curriculum, is a great fit for you. </p>
<p>so i would certainly flesh out and emphasize these long-term academic interests and why C-SOGS (i think that should just be the school’s official name) is the place to pursue them.</p>
<p>that’s just one humble, uninformed man’s opinion, though–i’m only hoping to apply myself a year or so down the line</p>
