<p>No offense, but can you prove that you really are who you say you are? This appears to be a way of collecting college essays IMO. Do you have a harvard.edu email address that could be used to collect essays?</p>

<p>I think so…this could be a scam</p>

<p>Note:</p>

<p>The Harvard Crimson does publish 50 Successful Essays.</p>

<p>The current edition is 10 years old.</p>

<p>The Crimson has its own e-mail address: thecrimson.com.</p>

<p>This doesn’t seem like an obvious fraud.</p>
