Hi,
So the thing is when i got into cornell 3 years ago , i posted my college essay on the internet . But now my brother is applying to it this year and i decided to give him the same exact essay i wrote .
The problem is that im afraid that he gets caught or somebody use it .
Do they really check the college essay in the internet ??
Im really confused rn.
Pls help.
This is your first post and your username looks like you smashed the keyboard randomly.
I’m calling troll.
But the answer would be yes, your brother (and you) will definitely get caught.
Your brother will be denied and you will be expelled.
How’s Cornell going?
Im in a hurry .
And yes, i just created a new account because i forgot the password of my original account.
maybe
Good luck!
I think that it is VERY likely that they will catch this. He will be rejected outright (regardless of how good his application is otherwise). You are at considerable risk of getting in trouble also.
You need to make sure that he does not use it.
Tell your brother to write his own essay. Period. End of story.
You probably won’t get expelled (they can’t explicitly prove you were involved in this, for all they know your brother found your essay and used it), but if your brother gets caught he will be rejected.
It is my understanding that some if not all colleges will use the plagiarize checker and will easily detect anything that was posted somewhere online as well as in print. Since your essay was online, whether it’s your brother or anyone else uses your essay will get caught.
Thank you
