Proof-reading can mess up?

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I have this query on proof-reading essays. All the colleges advise the applicantss to proof-read their essays before they push the 'submit' button of the application portal. They ask the applicants to ask their parents/friends/teachers to read their essays. Now-a-days, there are many websites that help the students to look for careless errors in their essays, for instance, the Essay Forum, Term</a> Paper Writing, Essay Editing, and Research Help.</p>

<p>Here people submit their essays and have those checked for errors in a few days. The essays are really the genuine works of their writers. BUT the colleges check for plagiarism with their web-systems and to catch cheaters.</p>

<p>There are students, the first-generation ones (to be more specific), who do not have others to have their essays proof-read but themselves. They submit their own work. Is there a possibility that they may be mistaken for cheaters?</p>

<p>I would strongly advise you not to submit your original essays to any person or website who keeps a copy of your work.</p>

<p>There are plenty of non-parent sources for proofreading, such as trusted teachers at your school. CC’s Parents Forum is also a great resource, as there are many parents who are willing to read and comment on college essays. Further, the admissions office will not deny admission solely on the basis of a few grammatical errors in an essay.</p>
