<p>Hi, if you guys know of any good yet 'cheap' online application counselling(or anything that helps with college admission) services could you please list them here? Or if you have experience using any related services, could you please share it? Thanks......</p>
<p>I wouldn't spend money on counseling... but I would spend money on essay editing... I use essayedge.com</p>
<p>but essayedge is kinda expensive. it's ok if i have to write only 1, but i have around 6 to write. Any cheaper options?</p>
<p>The owner of this message board, College Confidential, offers an essay service for $250 per essay. Less expensive is their Stats Evaluation for $89, which is quite a bargain, and is very helpful in analyzing strengths and weaknesses.</p>
<p>don't we all wish we could print money...</p>
<p>I'm a thinking of trying the Stats Eval, actually...</p>
<p>Just try asking for essay editors here. Free help is a good thing.</p>
<p>Also, I had a bad experience with EssayEdge. It was a very expensive lesson.</p>
<p>$250 is a too much, unfortuantely. :( mary, if you don't mind my asking, what did they do to you?</p>
<p>I've seen essays from Essay Edge and, in my opinion, they tend to beat the individual voice out of essays. Sure, your essay will be grammatically correct when you're done, but it will no longer sound like YOU.</p>
<p>My advice: ask 1-2 people who know you (parents, teachers) to read your essay and tell you if it sounds like you. Then, run it through the Word grammar check with all of the options turned on (especially the option that spots passive voice.) </p>
<p>If you feel you still need input, go to the parents board here on CC. If you ask politely, you will find people there who are knowledgeable about the college application process and know what a good college essay should be about. Many are willing to help CC students.</p>
<p>BUT in any case do not ask for input from more than two or three people MAX or you risk having your essay sound like a mishmash, instead of you.</p>
