To give Dominic and Nhi a much needed break, I (Michael) recorded a podcast with our friend Steve Schwartz from the College Admissions Toolbox. Check his work out at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/college-admissions-toolbox-podcast-college-applications/id1016715810?mt=2. Because Steve is an alumnus of Columbia College, we compare and contrast our experiences at Columbia. A lot has changed, but a lot hasn't too.  We find out how Columbia has shaped Steve and his career post-college and spill some tea about the Columbia-Barnard relationship.

When you are writing your college essays, have you ever felt like a fraud? Like it wasn't really you? Michael has and on this episode, we have an impromptu therapy question. Do our college applications reflect the authentic us? Did we choose extracurricular activities because we were interested in them or because we wanted to get into a good college?
