I’d be happy to help! I was accepted early decision to Dartmouth so no competition from me. 
writing is one of my strong suits!
Happy to read essays. I’m a senior who finished her apps and quite enjoys reading essays/giving feedback.
I’d be happy to edit anyone’s essays!
Holy cow, this thread is old. I didn’t even realize it.
I’ve been helping out with college essays now for a while now. I only wish some of those who I helped would drop back by and let me know if they got in or not (ahem).
I’m still available for reading essays. I give very honest and direct feedback. I don’t hold hands or sugar coat anything. Having said that, I am thinking about having anyone else that asks for my help sign a guarantee they’ll at least come back after they get their admissions letters.

@jeremyj - I know how you feel! I did hear from one of my editees who got into her ED school. One of her friends later contacted me in the RA round. I also had a series of repeated exchanges and saw some incredible changes with one of my editees both with respect to how he handled a situation and the quality of his work.
I, too, like to hear about the outcomes, but I’m not wed to them. To quote Blanche Dubois “I’ve always depended on the kindness of strangers” and expect others do likewise.
@LoveTheBard - Those little rats! I like to think they are now off doing good work and saving lives. I should swear off this whole helping them write essays thing.
But to quote Blanche Devereaux: I swear with God as my witness, I will never pick up another man… in a library… on a Saturday… unless he’s cute… and drives a nice car… Amen.
Hello, I’m available for reading essays. I give very honest and direct feedback. I don’t hold hands or sugar coat anything. I’d be happy to help!
I’d be willing to read any essays. I know I’m new and that’d be a legitimate reason not to send essays to me so I understand if that’s an issue!
Anyone down to read my Cornell essay?
Probably not very qualified, but would love to read essays and help in any way I can!
I’m down to read any essays any of you guys would like to send me. I’m very honest and I love to read and write so. PM me! ;
I can proofread essays too. I’m an incoming freshman for Brown’s class of 2021 so I have no incentive to cheat, in case anyone was wondering.
I think I’m honest with my feedback, but I can be a bit picky with diction so yeah…
Feel free to PM me
I can read essays but I’m not that frequent of a user so I may take a while to respond. I’ll be direct and focus more on grammar/syntax and whether or not you’re conveying the narrative you want to convey.
I’m especially interested in students that will be applying to Duke because I love Duke and want more talented students here. I can’t confidently speak about how “fit” works at other schools besides Duke.
Who was the essay reader that helped the Quads with their essays? I would like to PM them about S18 essay with some brief questions.
I’ll read some! I can help with grammar and organizational flow. This is a great idea because if you pm, others can’t plagiarize
Hi, I’m willing to read some essays. Please send them to me in a private message. I finished college admissions a long time ago, as you can see by looking through my post history.
A reminder that should probably be repeated as Essay season kicks into gear: Lots of the people who have volunteered as readers have the best of intentions.
But MANY are other kids just like you, still trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t.
Others are complete unknowns, with a low post count and no posting history.
Choose the wrong person and, best case, you’ll get bad advice. Worst case, they’ll like your essay so much they’ll pass it off as theirs… and you’ll never know. It will come up on the plagiarism checkers and you won’t get accepted to the schools of your choice.
Please, guys, be careful.
Can anyone take a look at my essay? This is a for a post bacc certificate program at Drexel and I would like for someone to review prior to applying. Thanks in advance.
Can somebody please take a look at a couple of my essays?
sure @Temple90 @Burrito12 I have experience with writing my own essays and editing essay for my students that I tutor. I would love to help you edit your essay-- give you some feedback, suggest edits, or just give you some ideas. I found that feedback from my peers, who have recently gone through the experience of writing actually provide some of the most relevant feedback. You can PM me if you’d like.
