Please read my essay!

Hi I’m a junior from upstate New York. I’ve recently written my first draft of my college essay and was hoping someone would be willing to read it. If interested, please message me and I will send it to you. I would really appreciate it, thanks!

DO NOT post your essay on this (or any site) and DO NOT send it to brand new first time posters. All of your hard work will be stolen, sold, or plagiarized.

^ pretty sure people have plagiarized other people essays before. Especially when someone like a student who gets into all 8 Ivy League schools. All of their essays are posted online in news sites etc.

Send it to your English teacher, he/she can provide feedback on your grammar and content. I’m sure he/she would be happy to help.

@buffalo124 don’t send it to anyone here. Go to a trusted friend, teacher, guidance counselor or any other trusted service.

@acron611 : Some of us who haunt this site spend a lot of time helping kids with their essays – such as kids who do not have access to private college counselors and kids whose counselors and teachers do not have the time. I think we can be trusted, and I do not think you should discourage students from asking for help with such a broad statement. I, for one, have no interest in using a student’s work for nefarious purposes. OP, I’m a 64-year-old lawyer whose daughter went to Dartmouth [with no essay help from me, since she did everything by herself from the time she was a tyke]. I’d be happy to read your essay if you want to send it to me. No google doc links, please; I can never make them work.

I don’t understand your point. Are you suggesting OP should not follow my advice and that its ok to post his/her essay on College Confidential?

I agree with @AboutTheSame that there are many people on CC who are incredibly helpful with essays. They are trusted longtime posters. I will reiterate that OP should not post his/her essay on this forum and should not send it to brand new first time posters.
