I wouldn't post anything I wanted to use.

It's possible to get feedback from other sources that wouldn't want/need to plagiarize your work: teachers, professional tutors, older siblings, good friends, college students you already know. You can even ask your parents to take it to work and have their colleagues read it. If those people can read it and come away with a great impression of you (provided they don't already know you) and feel like they got insight into your personality, then it's probably fairly good.

Read Harry Bauld's book On Writing the College Application Essay for great advice too.
