I forgot to mention that I am also willing to read essays for college scholarships, if you provide me a link to or copy of the instructions.

I just recieved criticisms from radronOmega and I too vouche for him. He is the real deal. He is infinitely more helpful than even the english AP teachers in my school because he pinpoints exactly where you essay gets weak/strong and fully explains why (awkward structure? too wordy? brag alert? too vague? horrible setup?) throughout the entire essay. My paper was BLEEDING red everywhere after the criticisms, and it was suppose to be one of the less criticized ones.

I'd critique essays as well.

Note: I am an 09' applicant. I am done with my essays though. I can do a diligent job, I'll show you a copy of something I corrected if you want to see my editing skills lololol.

You can email me at omgjennistooshortofaname@gmail.com or PM me.

Email me with the following information:
1) Your CC ID
2) Prompt
3) I would prefer to read essays that are CLOSE to being done, so I don't have to correct too many grammar mistakes (which is very time consuming), etc. Make it easier for the readers to help you! : )

I repeat what I said earlier: Please don't send me any for the next couple weeks. I don't have time!

Many of you are insistent upon those who aren't from this year's applicants (rightfully so!). Just realize if you find those of us who are actually in college, it's nearly finals time and we have plenty of work too!

I'd be happy to read and comment on admissions essays. I'm a journalism student, undergraduate teaching assistant and former editor of a nationally-honored college newspaper.

Try to give me as much lead time as you can - if you e-mail me the day before your application's due, there's no guarantee I'll have a chance to look at it.

Thanks guys for the vouching I feel so flattered hahah.

And NO, i do not tell people to post on this thread when I'm
done with them. xD I just put in a lot of effort into each essay
(I read each one at least 3 times through) and i try to be as
critical as possible.

Also, you can send me essays now but I won't be able to
do any until December 18th, because I have finals coming
up and about 35-ish kids killed my Thanksgiving studying with
essays hahaha.

Oh, and I may hurt your feelings in the critiques. Just let
me know if I do. I do it a lot every year xD. I never intend
to hurt your feelings, but if you're gonna send me some weaksauce
essay about your mom dying of cancer or of your mental
disability and not put an original twist on it, then I'm going
to let you know now before you learn it the hard way.

Just my .02
