Why Stanford Essay

<p>i will read it. Pls PM me</p>

<p>ultmtdream: Your teachers will most likely be more than willing to help, even if they are busy. They realize this is a very important part of your high school life and they're there to help. Just don't try giving them more than a couple essays to read, and tell them way in advance of your deadlines, and give it to them before school starts.</p>

<p>^ how would you see your teachers before school starts.....? (my teachers don't go to school during the summer..?)</p>

<p>app deadlines aren't at the end of the summer. ask them when school starts.</p>

<p>:( send it to me plzzzz. I promise i won't copy :(</p>

<p>I'd like to read it. I have always been curious to learn about others motives to get into Stanford, this is interesting to me.</p>

<p>I'll read it!</p>

<p>Some people seem kind of desperate to read it, which is suspicious. It doesn't necessarily mean they want to copy your essay, per se, but many of them are probably looking for ideas to help them with their own essay.</p>

<p>I'm a class of 2014 applicant so it wouldn't affect you ;)</p>

<p>padfoot, Like I mentioned on a previous thread Stanford attracts all the attention (just like any Top 10 college would).</p>

<p>Try creating a thread saying "North Carolina State University Essay" and see if you'll get as many responses.</p>

<p>Sorry... I'm just getting really paranoid. Maybe after I get over this paranoia I will ask around for critique again. I just read a few days ago that at Stanford they found two essays that were too similar in content to be original, and BOTH applicants were consequently rejected. Too scary to even think about, really.</p>

<p>:( :( :( :( don't worry about it..plzzz..i can give you good critique :( :( :( :(</p>

<p>I'll read yours. I'm class of 2012, but I already wrote my essay and am ardently working on it. So if you want me to take a look at yours, I'd be happy to.</p>

<p>Good instinct explode, well do you mind PMing me the reasons you're applying to Stanford (just listing them)</p>

<p>I recommend you read the Sticky's on the College Essays forum</p>
