So I posted my common app essay plus harvard and princeton supplements on essay forum. Even though I’ve deleted the threads now, my essays still come up when I google search them. I’m really worried that universities will think that I’ve plagiarized my essays - any suggestions?
You can email admissions to let them know that you posted your essays on-line so they may turn up on a plagiarism scan - but you are the sole author and have the drafts to verify that if need be. Assuming you have no history of academic dishonesty, I doubt this will be an issue, especially if you raise it before it come up. For applications you haven’t submitted, you can put this statement in the ‘additional info’ section at the end.
How is that possible? You can’t delete your threads here.
You can ask an admin to delete a thread or post.
Yes, but they (the mods, not likely the admins) may or may not honor the request. There are plenty of warnings on CC NOT to post essays on the forum. The mods aren’t looking for more work.
