An0maly's College Essay Review!

<p>Ok then, I’ll PM it to you.</p>

<p>The only problem is, mine’s gonna be at the most 700 words long, and I’m not sure if I can PM you an essay that long. If you don’t want to give out your true email, why don’t you just create a new email account for essay-sending purposes? Hopefully that could work.</p>

<p>Send it in pieces.</p>

<p>On the Dartmouth Admissions Uncommonly Asked Questions, they suggested length:</p>

<p>“There is no determined maximum length or word count, but 1 to 2 pages single spaced, or 2 to 3 pages double spaced seems about the typical length. This is probably about 500 to 750 words, but again, it should be as long as it needs to be and no longer.”</p>

<p>^ There are indeed various measures for length. In my experience, however, most stories can be told in 500 words. The reason I ask people to bring it to that level is so that they start processing what is essentially in their essay, and what is superfluous. That way, if/when they revise it, they have a complete understanding of what their essay’s core is.</p>

<p>Obviously I’m not going to stop anybody from going over 550 if they want to, but it’s a rule of thumb that works for me :)</p>

<p>good advice, makes sense. Mine as of now is 575 words, so I felt the need to defend it, lol. But as I’m sure you’ll see, I can probably cut it down further.</p>

<p>Thanks so much Anomaly, the feedback and especially the “first impression” you gave me was extremely helpful, and it seemed almost as if you were a real adcom…thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Very helpful service!</p>

<p>I sent you my essay in a pm…thank you in advance for taking a look at it!</p>

<p>Gives great advice, and he really knows what he’s talking about. Thanks for your help An0maly! :D</p>

<p>Well, mine is about 700. And An0maly never told me anything about length. So there are exceptions.</p>

<p>An0maly does an excellent job. I hadn’t submitted any of my essays on College Confidential for security reasons, so I was wary of giving it to An0maly, but he provided some excellent advice and feedback. I highly recommend this.</p>

<p>An0maly’s feedback is really in depth and honest. S/he will definitely respond to your essay like an admissions officer would.</p>

<p>i sent him/her my essay like 4 days ago and he hasnt responded…i pmed him but havent heard back…maybe he/she didnt get it or hasnt found time yet…anyways ill send him/her another one just incase…</p>

<p>An0maly im sending you a pm of my essay, thanks in advance.</p>

<p>An0maly, i sent you mine!..hopefully you got it because i think you didnt get it last time…can you confirm if you received it?</p>

<p>i sent mine a couple days back and havent gotten a response but im pretty sure An0maly is realllllly backlogged with essays. lets just stay patient, hopefully by this weekend they’ll be caught up.</p>

<p>I have 24 waiting right now. I reply to everything, but on my schedule :stuck_out_tongue: </p>

<p>Don’t bother resending the PMs. As of now, I have finished everyone who sent me their PM before last Tuesday, and I’m pretty sure I’m done with the Wednesday’s too. So if you sent me your PM on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, then I’m still working on it.</p>

<p>If anybody needs it IMMEDIATELY, please specify that in the title, but you better have a good reason. ;)</p>

<p>@ Galib & vikings - I have both of yours. Don’t worry!</p>

<p>It is just wonderful that there are some people like An0maly :slight_smile:
Your help is very useful!
I got the feedback on my essay right away.</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Hey An0maly! My essay right now is slightly longer than it should be. Can you still take a look at it?</p>

<p>He is incredibly helpful, I recommend his feedback. Definitely good at looking at essays objectively. Thanks An0maly!</p>
