posting a personal statement essay

<p>I was wondering if I posted a personal statement or college essay on this website, would plagiarism scanners (that the schools most likely do use in this day and age) spot my essay out as plagiarism? I would like my essay to be graded by an outsider's perspective, but I'm worried that posting here will have me labeled as a plagiarizer by the universities that I plan to apply to. Has anyone who has posted their essay here gotten into the colleges they sent them to?</p>

<p>You’re much better off PMing it to people rather than posting it on the forum. </p>

<p>Also be careful with PM’ing people. Maybe don’t PM a New Member account.</p>

Please read the suggestions and warnings about that pinned to the top of the forum and do not post your essay there.

Do not post your essay in an open forum.
