<p>(I'm a Class of '09 applicant, but all of my applications have been completed and I've gotten into a few places. In other words, I'm not going to take your essay.)</p>

<p>If you want some constructive criticism on your college essay, I'd be happy to take a look. I have enough writing experience (four years of journalism, one as editor-in-chief, four years of honors/AP English, a few novels) to provide some helpful feedback, but I'm not going to sugarcoat things, either. </p>

<p>If this sounds good, feel free to PM me what you have.</p>

<p>sounds too good…overselling much?</p>

4

<p>Overselling? No. I want people to know I’m here to help them, not steal their work or laugh at it.</p>

5

<p>want me to PM you?</p>

<p>That would work best, yeah.</p>

<p>Sorry to all who PM’d me their essay today–I had friends over and wasn’t able to get to them. Tomorrow is my first no-school day, though, so I should be able to look over them then.</p>

13

<p>Sorry again for all the delays! I have 11 messages in my inbox, so it might take a little time before I can answer everybody’s request. If your essay is due in the immediate future (i.e. next two days), please PM me or tell me here so that I can give it “priority status.”</p>

14

<p>might want to finish the ones that were PMed to you first before you get started on others ;]</p>

15

<p>Exactly! And speaking of which, Citybirds, Aftischer, Sak09 Priscizzzz, Anhtimmy, and Ronit, your essay comments should be in your PM folder. Next up are Humna, Cristina and Crunkk.</p>

<p>My private messages folder has now gone past the limit, so I might have to delete some old messages. I don’t know if the latest essays made it in.</p>

<p>Unless your essay critique is urgent (e.g. due by January 1), you might want to hold off for about a week until I can look at the 8+ essays in my PM inbox. Though I do appreciate the interest!</p>
