I totally agree. Regardless of being a new user , I gave feedback to several people and when of course I posted mine I was ripped off.

Thanks!

I think that many readers, good and bad, would object to being publicly and perhaps unjustly named here.

I think that there is greater wisdom in relying on people, particularly adults, who have an established record (long time and many posts) of posting here.

If anyone has had a good experience with a member of CC -- who reviewed their essay and gave great feedback -- post a small recommendation for them. I'm sure they would not mind the flattery.

There are several individuals on the board who want someone on such a great site to review their hard work. So let's help them out.

I sent my essays to a number of people and of course very few (of those who say they'll read it) reply. Its also really silly to steal an essay cos if you're dum enough to steal it then the rest of your application will probably reflect your dumness.

ace 22 tennis; I'd flatter "anhtimmy" , "asdfjkl1 and Quicksandslowly" who are both busy right now, "Schmoomcgoo" "waldorfwannabe" , "jptoor" and "Zester" plus some others who I doubt would want to publicly read essays.

The rest of those guys claiming to be readers on that consolidated list will SO ignore you.

PS: At least they ignored me. They might reply to you.

Cheers and good luck.

I would personally feel horrible about trusting someone else if I got ripped off and they were in it for their personal gain. For me, editing essays is a passion... I enjoy helping other students, whether I know them or not, on this streeful college process. Plus it's all about intergrity. I find it completely IRONIC that you are applying to a college-usually tier- wanting to be a "good" asset to their school with "good" and "honest" traits then you come to a great site (which, once again, ironically is call College Confidential) only to steal or use someone else's work.

Can't even fathom....

I don't know why someone would steal an essay and apply to the same school you're applying to, because wouldn't the university (presumeably) realize that you and the other person have the same paper, and screw you both?

Hey just an idea I had for extra protection to deter any copiers. Why not just put the text of your essay into an image so it can't be copied? What do you think.
