2014'ers OFFICIAL SWAP THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

College Essays
1

<p>OK SO. It's OCTOBER! I don't know why a thread like this isn't on here already. If it is, then I couldn't find it. Anyway, finished essays should be coming together right about now, and I for one don't think it's possible to get too many edits.</p>

<p>How it will work:</p>

<p>If you put your name down, you're saying that you will swap with anyone else here, and anyone can swap with you. KEY WORD: SWAP! I feel a lot safer this way, rather than just sending it out there, I like that swaps are a mutual thing.</p>

<p>Rules:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>A few times, I sent them my essay for a swap and they havent given me back there's, so maybe they didnt even have an essay and needed inspiration? Whatever the reason, this won't happen here. SO, if someone on here agreed for a swap but doesn't reciprocate, STATE THE NAME HERE so we know who they are.</p></li>
<li><p>A few times, I sent my essay, and I don't even get a feedback! Ok, again, this will NOT happen here. If someone finds that someone is here to just read but not give feedback and improve others, POST WHO THEY ARE.</p></li>
<li><p>PMing that person to make sure they're still up for a swap may be a good idea, incase they're essays are done and sent.</p></li>
<li><p>Keep the conversations to a minum please. No comments directed at specific users about how you found their essay, no essay advices, no essay questions, (there are threads for that). This is just a bank of people who are up for swapping. Nothing else. Nothing more.</p></li>
<li><p>Your post should only say what your writing is. Common app essay? Common app short answer? "Why (insert university)" paragraph? Or state the prompt. Post more than once with different topics later on if need be. </p></li>
</ol>

<p>With that, here we go 2014ers!! I'm excited to do some reading and getting feedback! BEST OF LUCK!!!</p>

<p>I’ll start.</p>

<p>Common app essay. 1st draft.</p>

3

<p>Ill swap, il pm you my essay</p>

4

<p>Looks interesting, but I see a couple possible problems: What’s stopping ppl from creating a new account? How long is enough to decide that they didn’t/won’t respond? Sometimes I take longer than a week to get through all the essays!</p>

<p>Wow, I didnt even think that far ahead, haha. Well, I suppose so, but then that’s just the same with any other thread, I guess, but I’m hoping this will discourage it, at least. </p>

<p>That’s for their judgement I suppose. Ya, I take around a week too sometimes. But a friend whose been doing CC for much longer than I have, has a some editors who havent returned any feedback for months…so probably never will? :(</p>
