Plagiarzing someone else's essay

<p>If you plagiarize someone else's essay, is there a high chance that the adcoms will find out and reject/rescind you?</p>

<p>ya es ssssssssssss</p>

<p>It will happen, and the colleges will contact each other.</p>

<p>Why risk your future?</p>

<p>One of my friends is doing this. Her older sister was admitted to two Ivies and several other great schools (she ended up at Chicago). She is submitting her sister’s essays, but only to schools her sister didn’t apply to. As the rest of us our walking around worried about essays, she’s been feeling pretty stress-free. They were in the same clubs and did the same things, so I think she’s going to get away with it. She’s had this advantage throughout high school. Every AP class she’s taken, she had her sister’s notes, copies of tests and quizzes, etc. I’m sure other sibling do this too but it sure makes life easier.</p>

<p>Hope Full:</p>

<p>I wonder what’s going to happen to your friend when she finally has to do her own work. I also wonder why you’d want a friend who’s so unethical.</p>

<p>That’s sad. ^^^</p>

<p>I try to be friendly with everyone, Northstarmon. Besides, if I refused to be friends with everyone who cheated or lied, I’d have maybe one or two friends.</p>

<p>Being friendly with people doesn’t mean considering them to be your friends.</p>

<p>That’s bull.</p>

<p>So unfair…</p>

<p>^^^ I wouldn’t necessarily call it unfair. If you want to go to a top school, writing a solid essay shouldn’t be very difficult at all. I don’t really believe that she is getting a significant advantage using her sister’s essays. Unethical yes, but “so unfair”? I don’t think so.</p>

<p>You haven’t applied yet have you?</p>

<p>^^^^^^^^^^^^^</p>

<p>what he said</p>

<p>I actually did, I wrote the best essay of my life actually. Well, I should say it wasn’t that easy; it took a while for the inspiration. Once I got it though, I just beat through 3 hours of solid writing/editing to craft it, then I spent another week editing. So it certainly wasn’t easy, but in terms of actual work involved, it was no more difficult than writing something for English, albeit that inspirational spark is the tough one to get. </p>

<p>But using someone elses essay is not going to portray the real you as much as you writing your own, and writing your own should be fun anyway (it was for me). Look at it that way.</p>
