Does anybody have any advice on using professional editing companies? I find that their prices are pretty steep, and I'm not sure the $$$ is wort the help you receive. Also, does anyone know anything about the $15 dollar editing service from (guessing on name here) Northwestern Editing?

I used the $15 Essay Review from Northwestern. I actually paid $30 for two drafts plus the ability to converse with my reviewer (via email). She made a lot of excellent suggestions, and even helped me out with parts of my application not related to the PS. It was seriously the best $30 I ever spent, and I would highly recommend it to anyone seriously considering LS.
Wow that sounds like I'm some kind of shill for the company. Seriously, though, I had other people read my PS, but they just didn't know specifically what schools were looking for so they couldn't give met good concrete suggestions. These folks could.
