<p>I also wouldn’t recommend sending your essay to other people. Have a few of your teachers edit your essay. =) Or perhaps ask your friends to provide some insight. Good luck!</p>
<p>yes a high school teacher of mine offered to read our essays but i wasnt comfortable with this…although mostly because i hadnt written them yet D: </p>
<p>i know richer people pay for editing services (lame imo) </p>
<p>some professors at cornell would say that having someone proofread your essay is a form of academic dishonesty :(</p>
<p>Meh. I asked my dad to proofread my essay for overlooked grammar mistakes, but I refused to let him edit any content (although he wanted to lol). I considered showing it to a couple of close English teachers, but in the end I decided that it’s a “personal statement” for a reason, not an academic essay…</p>
