I am a recent graduate of Columbia University. I graduated with a degree in neuroscience and am currently applying for graduate school. At my time there I joined multiple clubs and have done internships with the university where I got to work closely with the admissions team at Columbia. With this experience I have conducted guided tours and mentored high school juniors with college applications tips that have helped them in their applications
