<p>thats true
i did mine already and submitted it with a little help from friends</p>
<p>Terribly scared of that too.</p>
<p>Also, exactly how long does it take people to review essays? I send mine to someone but they have yet to reply. Of course it was just on sunday so I'm pretty sure that person didn't find time yet, but I just want to make sure.</p>
<p>So if anyone would like to post a name of trustworthy peopel for reading essays........feeeel free. Pleeease. There should definitely be some type of system for rating reliability of those who read essays for CCers. Let's do it!</p>
<p>Now I am scared...is there anyway to unsend private messages?</p>
<p>I also sent my essays to some people. Most didn't respond. It was lame and made me nervous...</p>
<p>^^ i did that too...
im seriously scared....</p>
<p>hey would anyone like to read MY essay & not rip it off? & provide constructive criticism? if so, PM me. i'd appreciate it!</p>
<p>-jetsley</p>
<p>Wow. Excellent advice and well worded.</p>
<p>Ugh. So true!!! Crikey, when I was a freshman, I sent an essay to an online proofreading service. They charged me $9.99 and promised that I'd get my essay back, with corrections, by the end of the work week. I used Paypal to pay, and I never got my essay back! I complained a few times and <em>finally,</em> after two weeks or so, I got the paper back with like eight corrections on it. They said that the paper was "near perfect" and "didn't need proofreading." If that was the case (which it really wasn't), they should have refunded my money and declined to accept the essay. Argh. Such headaches.</p>
<p>what I'm really scared about is if you pm your essay to someone, they steal it, and then you get rejected from your universities because someone else (or, god forbid, many other people) have the same essay!! apparently colleges have this "blacklist" type thing. eeearrghhh I sent mine out for feedback and now I'm soooo paranoid. maybe irrationally.</p>
<p>FEEDBACK SYSTEM = genius!
... so why isn't there one?</p>
<p>Hmm...I dunno. There should definitely be one.</p>
<p>I totally agree. Regardless of being a new user , I gave feedback to several people and when of course I posted mine I was ripped off. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I think that many readers, good and bad, would object to being publicly and perhaps unjustly named here. </p>
<p>I think that there is greater wisdom in relying on people, particularly adults, who have an established record (long time and many posts) of posting here.</p>
<p>If anyone has had a good experience with a member of CC -- who reviewed their essay and gave great feedback -- post a small recommendation for them. I'm sure they would not mind the flattery.</p>
<p>There are several individuals on the board who want someone on such a great site to review their hard work. So let's help them out.</p>
<p>nice advice</p>
<p>Thanks for your helpful information.</p>
<p>Hey this is really helpful...!!</p>
<p>I sent my essays to a number of people and of course very few (of those who say they'll read it) reply. Its also really silly to steal an essay cos if you're dum enough to steal it then the rest of your application will probably reflect your dumness.</p>
<p>ace 22 tennis; I'd flatter "anhtimmy" , "asdfjkl1 and Quicksandslowly" who are both busy right now, "Schmoomcgoo" "waldorfwannabe" , "jptoor" and "Zester" plus some others who I doubt would want to publicly read essays.</p>
<p>The rest of those guys claiming to be readers on that consolidated list will SO ignore you.</p>
<p>PS: At least they ignored me. They might reply to you.</p>
<p>Cheers and good luck.</p>
