<p>about someone else copying your essay and use it as their own?</p>
<p>I showed my essays to a couple of friends to get their opinions, but now that I've sent my essays, I keep on thinking "what if they use mine?" especially with my parents saying how we'd both be rejected if an adcom sees the same essay twice.</p>
<p>well you just show it to them right? did you stay there at all time when you show it to them? if you did then don't worry. I did show my essays to friends toobut only my closest one.... :D.</p>
