What are some good college essay editing/writing sites/services?

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone out there knew some good sites or services that do college essay writing/editing. Any recommendations or links would be great. I looked on google and there were so many I didn't know which one to look at.


Thanks

I don't know for sure, but www.*********.com seems to have a good reputation. I saw that in an ad on the Wall Street Journal.

Also, I know www.gradesaver.com but I don't know if it's really Harvard editing.

(You will have to pay for these services, of course.)

Be careful, many of the programs use a formula, that the college people easily recognize...very close line to plagerism, so be careful

try your computer with a word processing program.

It allows you to write more than 50 words per minute, which is amazingly fast, and even faster if you are capable of inputing the data at a higher speed. Also, it is very easy to edit with the click of a mouse and a press of a key.

I used *********.com - IMO, it was great. They did an amazing job of editing my essays - though they won't write the content for you or anything. The main thing they helped me with was eliminating repetitive phrasing and just generally cleaning up my sentances. It is expensive, though, especially if you are applying to a lot of schools (and thus need many essays edited).
