<p>Ok, my teacher provided us with some college essay samples. One who got accepted to the same college I'm applying to had the most distinct topic. The problem is, I came up with the same distinct topic. After reading that college essay, I wrote my own and I got a lot of ideas from that accepted college essay. Especially , I could only think of the same examples. This year being my worst so far( seriously everything happens this year: dad leaving job, car accident, hospital admit and a ton of AP classes<<< I asked colleges and they said they don't care unless it's hurricane sandy) I have arrived at the last point. College essays are due in 2 days and I want to submit tomorrow by all chances. So in the length of time I have left I cannot come up with anything creative as I have to write six other essays!!!
Would that be copying if I pick the same topic for issue of importance? And use about the same examples and thoughts as well. The weird way this person think in his essay is exactly how I think.</p>
<p>^^ is this plagiarizing??</p>
<p>Help help help help</p>
<p>Yes, lifting someone else’s topic, examples, and thoughts is plagiarizing.</p>
<p>What school is this, that has a regular application deadline of November 28th? If you wanted to apply ED / EA, you ought not have put 7 essays off until the night before you want to press “send.”</p>
<p>Do yourself a favor - write your own essays, with your own thoughts, in your own voice, in a reasonable period of time. Whatever boost you hope to get from applying early is going to be more than cancelled out by rushing the application process.</p>
<p>Oh actually I’m applying to many other colleges as well. And the deadline is December 1 but the essays needed to be submitted early so other optional things could be submitted before the deadline. But thank you I would try to take that as a suggestion. But is it possible that I take the a same distinct topic and an example but change everything else. Actually the topic can be chosen by a distinct many but the example is the same as mine cuz I am as weird as the essay accepted. Can I use this strategy?</p>
