Hi everybody,
I was wondering if any of you guys could recommend a website that reviews college admission essays for free; my family is really strapped for cash this month, and I can’t really afford to hire a professional service. My GPA is a little bit below average for the schools I’m applying to (3.57 vs 3.7), so I really need my essays to stand out.
I am not sure of a free website, but what about asking one of your English teachers if they would be willing to read over them for you.
That’s a good idea; the only problem is that my school doesn’t start up until January 29th, which is cutting it a little too close (the Common App is due Feb. 1st.)
Do you have access to your GC’s email (and do they permit receiving email form students?) They should have a vested interest in the college admissions process. Let them know of your issue and see if they can forward your essay to an English teacher or give you permission to contact them directly.
These are things that need to be done well in advance so be very polite and understanding if they can’t meet your time frame.
some people on here can really help. make sure they have a decent post number, and evidence of a career/kids or something so that theyre not high schoolers that’ll plagiarize. i suggest using the list of “readers” which i think is pinned
