Advice for RD Applicants

<p>Do not send your essays to random people on this board. You do not want someone to plagarize it. Only send your essays to people who have at least a couple hundred posts and, preferably, applied to Harvard early. There are a lot of kids on here offering to read essays with fewer than fifty posts, all of which have been posts offering to read essays. Some of these may be perfectly legitimate, but remember to keep your eyes open, kiddos.</p>

<p>YOU SCARED ME....hahahah :)</p>

<p>I'm not stealing your essay, darling! ;)</p>

<p>On that note, anyone who has a really amazing essay and wants to send it to me for copyi--erm, revision....is more than welcome to :)</p>

<p>You know, I did send you that essay a while back! Are you going to send it in as your own, now? :p</p>

<p>=-o You're right!! Ahhhh I've been so busy lately, I'm sorry :( I'll look at it....whenever I can, I promise. :D</p>

<p>Haha. That's OK. I think I'm probably too lazy to write a new essay, anyway, if it's not good. ;)</p>

<p>Having many posts is NOT indicative of anything except spending many hours reading and posting in this forum.</p>

<p>Corranged is right, I sent my essay (a very short one, which was for my writing class and never thought of using) to someone and looks like he's taken it!</p>

<p>Poor me!</p>

<p>Yeah, I don't trust anyone online with my essays. Speaking of which, I have a mailbox full to review.</p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>Fatherofthe, someone with twenty posts all asking to read essays is a lot different than someone with a lot of posts about different subjects who helps people with essays. If it is evident that someone's goal on this site is to read essays, you should not send your essay to that person. I mean, you can do it if you really want, but I just wanted to tell people to not send their essays indiscriminately.</p>

<p>Having many or few posts, on one topic or many topics is no indication of anything. Anyone who requests that an unknown entity evaluate their essay will receive a random evaluation of the essay. The person may be a doctor of English, a jr. high drug addict, an international engineer or a typical H.S. student. If you request to have your essay evaluated in this forum.. it will be evaluated by a random person. If the person chooses to give you advice (which they don't have to), you (the recipient of the new perspective) must evaluate the impact the advice will have on "your" essay. Anyone who sends their essays out on a forum like this... is sending it out indiscriminately.</p>

<p>corranged is worried that people will plagiarize essays, not that they'll give poor advice.</p>
