<p>I sent some by email quite some time ago; some were changed but others weren't (common application). Those that changed it said so, those that said they couldn't or that I should send it by mail replied so, but a majority didn't reply at all. </p>
<p>What does the no reply mean? and is it too late to send essay revisions by mail to a january 1st deadline college?</p>
<p>bump bump need to know</p>
<p>I called Cornell yesterday about that issue and I called UPenn today. They both told me to send the revised essays. I'm not sure if I'm pushing it, but it is definately worth trying. Personally, I don't think they've started looking at my application and essay b/c I'm sure that some of my recs, etc haven't arrived yet.</p>
<p>should I call first, or just send the essays?
ps- I don't care about mail costs....</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>Send the essay. Clearly indicate in a cover letter that they are revisions of original essays.</p>
<p>to send revised or additional essays, do we send it through the email add of the undergraduate admissions office?</p>
<p>if you used the online app, wouldnt we send it by email?</p>
<p>anybody know the procedure for columbia?</p>
<p>would essay revisions also include editing of a grammar misatke?</p>
<p>i wonder if they compare the old and new versions</p>
<p>Cornell told me to either fax or mail it to their office. I applied online. I don't think it matters.</p>
<p>what do you guys mean by sending "revised essays", is it worth the effort to simply correct a grammar mistake?</p>
<p>Make it perfect. Revise what needs revising. Edit what needs editing.</p>
<p>i think it's weird to send a revised essay to a college</p>
<p>If I was an admissions officer, I would think, "He didn't care enough the first time around, or he didn't make enough time to perfect it the first time. That shows how much he procrastinates, etc."</p>
<p>Anyway, once you've sent your application, you've sent it. I'm sure that they must compare old and new essays just to see exactly what you changed. Plus, no essay is ever perfect, and I think you guys should just stick to the first ones you sent. I would hate to be rejected because I proved that I didn't care enough the first time around.</p>
<p>send a revised essay? or hope they think the one you already gave is okay? Well... I think it depends on what is to be revised. If you used "a" instead "an" in your essay, don't be a douche and send a "revised essay."</p>
<p>Yesterday in my English class, we learned about revising essays. "Revise" in no way means "proofread." Proofreading means looking for simple grammatical, speling; and punctuation errors? Revising on the other hand is changing the essay on the whole- adding sentences, reworking paragraphs, deleting sections etc. WHY WOULD ANYONE SEND IN AN ESSAY TO A COLLEGE THAT IS NOT PROOFREAD AND REVISED?</p>
<p>deadline pressure</p>
<p>Only way to know is to call the adcoms and ask.</p>
<p>Colleges admit whom they want to admit. That you sent a revised, edited essay will not be the reason to deny you admission. Send a revised, edited essay, if you need to. Let them do whatever they want with the original and the new. Revised, edited essays have been sent postdeadline to HYP and people have been admitted. I know.</p>
<p>I didn't even know you could send in revised essays</p>
