PM me, or send it to my email (zweebopp@yahoo.com). The ID name is weird, but it's memorable and not duplicated by many.

I'm a teacher and a parent of kids who got into several top ten schools and their essay was their ticket.

If I have time, I will certainly read your essay.

However, I have the following rules:
1. one revision per student
2. private messages must include essay prompt
3. private messages must specify whether the essay is a final or rough draft

Credentials:
I have taught AP English Language and Composition for over ten years.

Omniscient pities the poster named gedmasters for blatantly attempting to rip off essays under the ruse of an accredited instructor. Such deceit is obvious when the poster rips off THE POST ABOVE HIM to look legitimate, posts in the essay forum 12 times over a single day (out of his 14 posts up to now), and makes a weak attempt at posting in a graduate forum. Shame on you.

Hi, Sign me up! I was a B student who got into the top 2 undergraduate business schools, my essays probably were weighed in lots. I'd love to read and help!

As a word of caution, PLEASE do a background check on the person that you are sending your precious essays to.

People who barely made their accounts or those who ONLY post in the essay section should be bringing some MAJOR red flags. DO NOT send it to them. Rather, seek out people who have alot of posts. They are less likely to jack your essay.

Remember if the person who jacked your essay sends the same essay/modified one to the SAME college, BOTH OF YOU WILL BE REJECTED.

Good luck~

PS: I wouldn't send my essays to gedmasters OR Rocking my Es, check their post histories. lol

You can send me your essays, I'm not going to graduate for a while, but I've been grading papers for my father (an English teacher, no less!) since I was 7. I'm sure I can help. If you'd like to email me, just message a request, or otherwise PM your essay.

By all means, search my history! Oh, and good luck!

@anhtimmy: Ugh, this is disgusting. I did as you said, and sure enough, these posters are probably telling their friends: oh, just go over to this website, and get "ideas" from kids. It makes me sick seeing people perfectly willing to jeopardize someone's credibility for their own benefit.

@ HHS310: I just tried to do that, and I came up with a pitifully small list. My criteria was that they had more than 500 posts and did not specify a time when they would be available (one person said they'd be available for the next two weeks, so I didn't add them).

In alphabetical order, the list:

3Point7Student
1234d
Anhtimmy
Asc3nd
Asdfjkl1
Fizix2
Mabsjenbu123
PlattsburghLoser
Quicksandslowly
RadronOmega (read requirements p. 4, email is p. 5)
Schmoomcgoo
Winston.C
Zester


Note: I do not know if these people are legit, and I would recommend you check out their posting histories before you send them your essay. Also, since this board is quite old, send them a PM before sending them their essay just to make sure they are still willing to read your essay/are still using the site.

How about money? It wouldn't be too hard to collect tons of essays, keep the good ones, and then sell them off later either online or otherwise. Anyone could do this too, whether they were "2010ers" or not.
