My son wrote an essay for a scholarship that is do on Saturday. Is there anyone out there that would care to help edit it? Let me know an I can private/send it.
Thanks!
I generally figure that if someone's going to go to the bother of reading an essay they had me submit, they're expecting it to be my own work.
If they indicate how he's supposed to credit the other people who worked on it or explicitly say that they're not expecting him to do it himself, that's something else again. But I haven't encountered that very often.
^I think it's assumed that others will read the essay and give tips/advice on it. I've never read anywhere that an essay could only be edited by the person who wrote it.
At college visits, the students were told many times to be sure to have others proofread their essay before sending to the school. This was from the directors of admissions.
