<p>does anyone want to edit my essays?</p>
<p>I can help you take a look. But I'm applying to Columbia right now...so if you are too, don't send. =p</p>
<p>i can help if you like. just send them to me in a message..</p>
<p>i like to edit :)</p>
<p>pm me if you want another critique</p>
<p>i can.....</p>
<p>PM me if you need another opinion---but I see you already have a few.</p>
<p>I can edit it if you would like me to. I applied early action to Stanford! And did not apply to JHU, but I understand if you would rather I not read since I applied to college this year.</p>
<p>i can help if you'd like
:)</p>
<p>I'd love to help! :)</p>
<p>I posted this last year ... once already this year ... and I feel it is time to post it again:</p>
<p>I know such posts are common on College Confidential, but I just want to state my opinion regarding asking for assistance with your essays through CC.</p>
<p>I am against it.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>(1) You never know who will be looking at your essay and whether they are out for your best interest. Additionally, they may choose to use your essays as their own. </p>
<p>(2) When you sign your application you are stating that everything in your application is complete, factually correct, and honestly presented. It is the final part of this that concerns me when receiving advice on your essays through a web site like CC. The essays are supposed to be your own work. Getting advice from a guidance counselor, teacher, parent, friend, is completely understandable. But receiving advice from anonymous people on a college message board seems dishonest to me. </p>
<p>(3) One word - plagiarism. </p>
<p>My advice ... ask a parent ... ask a relative ... ask a sibling ... ask a friend. They will have your best interest when helping you out.</p>
<p>-->and now I step off my soap box.</p>
