<p>Yeah, the thing I was wondering though: Which 2 people read each applicant's essay? I know one is the regional rep... Who is the other?</p>
<p>to be realistic everyone, if there were only two sentences the same, especially about something that anyone could mention like yale abroad and archaelogy classes, i dont think itd be a problem. its not like the kid stole paragraphs, it was like 2 sentences.
plus the early applicants essay was read in october, this ones gonna be in march, with thousands of essays read in btwn. it just seems prety unlikely.</p>
<p>As I mentioned earlier, some colleges use plagiarism programs- so it would be incredibly easy to detect even two sentences. I'm not sure if Yale does or not. Harvard has certainly been taking plagiarism seriously! ;)</p>
<p>Haha, oh Harvarddddd</p>
<p>...i think it's you who stole a conclusion from an essay your friend wrote and now you're all nervous about being accepted at Yale (and you should be).</p>
<p>PS: it's very easy to tell when the voice of the writer changes from paragraph to paragraph. to someone who was involved with the essay writing process, this doesn't seem obvious because they've read and reread it so many times. to others, however, even a sentence written by another peer seems very conspicuous in the midst of someone else's essay. then all they do is type it in their database and reject you.. and prob notify your school (which often delays graduation). go take an intro to ethics class.</p>
<p>Oh forget it. I didn't even apply to Yale, please stop ridiculing me.</p>
