<p>Just curious..
If somebody helps you, who is it?</p>
<p>95% of my essays I write alone because I totally procrastinate and start like an hour before the deadline. But if I have time, I have someone check me for grammar, typos, and content. Like someone JUST caught a typo I made on my Cornell supplement when I was about to send it. Thank goodness.</p>
<p>All of my essays are written on my own; I don’t really know how someone could “help” me write an essay.
Although, I have had people edit my grammar/read my essays and tell me how they sound, just to get another set of eyes on it. I also bugged people to give me ideas, although no one did. :P</p>
<p>Edit and some structure. My own editing takes forever because I use way too many words, sometimes write in passive voice, and things like that. I submitted the Common App tonight because I couldn’t look at the essay any more. I still have supplemental essays to get into better shape.</p>
