| that's a good idea. There are a few people who voluntarily offering to read others' essay and that scares me. |

| ^^I whole-heartedly agree with you debateaddict. I'm really afraid of sending my essay to some unknown person, and a feedback system would really make my life easier. | |

| Terribly scared of that too.
Also, exactly how long does it take people to review essays? I send mine to someone but they have yet to reply. Of course it was just on sunday so I'm pretty sure that person didn't find time yet, but I just want to make sure. | |

| Ugh. So true!!! Crikey, when I was a freshman, I sent an essay to an online proofreading service. They charged me $9.99 and promised that I'd get my essay back, with corrections, by the end of the work week. I used Paypal to pay, and I never got my essay back! I complained a few times and *finally,* after two weeks or so, I got the paper back with like eight corrections on it. They said that the paper was "near perfect" and "didn't need proofreading." If that was the case (which it really wasn't), they should have refunded my money and declined to accept the essay. Argh. Such headaches. | |

| what I'm really scared about is if you pm your essay to someone, they steal it, and then you get rejected from your universities because someone else (or, god forbid, many other people) have the same essay!! apparently colleges have this "blacklist" type thing. eeearrghhh I sent mine out for feedback and now I'm soooo paranoid. maybe irrationally. | |
