I'm a current Columbia student (class of '14) and I'm working on starting a company that provides application and essay counseling/advice, but I'm trying to freelance my services a bit before diving in. I'm planning on offering one on one skype conferences to evaluate candidates' essays or applications/supplements. Contact me at rcm2140@columbia.edu for more info! (I applied and was accepted ED)
