Applications to join the Columbia Review for the Spring 2026 semester are closed. The next round of applications will open for Fall 2026 in early September.

The Columbia Review board is composed of roughly twenty undergraduate students and three chief editors. We encourage any student at Columbia University with an interest in contemporary poetry, prose, and translation to apply.

Members of our board meet weekly to review submissions, organize events, and discuss forthcoming reviews.

Applications are open to students from all four undergraduate schools within Columbia University (CC, BC, SEAS, GS), regardless of age or major. We do not accept applications from graduate students or non-affiliates.

Feel free to email us with any questions about joining the Columbia Review at thecolumbiareview@gmail.com, and follow our Instagram to keep up with news and events.
