<p>Can I PM an alumni or current student my why penn essay for review?</p>
<p>prospective penn students: BACK OFF!!!</p>
<p>hahaha it’s just that I don’t trust anyone. I once lent a good friend my history essay for her to get inspiration from and she ended up not even rephrasing my essay but using specific phrases that were unique to mine. so BACK OFF!!!</p>
<p><em>Backing off</em></p>
<p>Thats respectable, I guess. One thing though, you can't "truely" be able to tell who's alumni or not. But, I have integrity and I won't ask to read it, no matter how much I love to critique my own and other peoples essays and writings. </p>
<p>(Note: Its always great to have an essay critiqued by more than one 'type' of source.)</p>
<p>--later</p>
<p>hey banannas then why are you volunteering to read someone who is applying for stanford's essay?</p>
<p><em>shifty eyes</em></p>
<p>lol because i'm good with editing. i just suck at editing myself.</p>
<p>bananas, just read your essay out loud to yourself</p>
