<p>D is an OK writer and after many weeks of many drafts and many edits, she has what she thinks could be close to a final draft. I have read it too many times to be objective. I need to find a kind reviewer to give it a look. D is a fabulous student, loves math and science- ELA , not so much so this has been a burden of all burdens for her. But she has a fun and interesting story to tell. I only want to send it to one or two reviewers. How to find the experienced volunteer? Thanks!</p>
<p>You can post in the “College Essays” forum and look in the “Consolidated List of Essay Readers” thread (it’s pinned at the top - I may not have the title exactly right). You’re welcome to send the essay to me (more info about me in the essay readers thread), but I have about fourteen other essays that I’m working on right now, so it may take me a couple of days to get back to you.</p>
<p>I’m sure you know this, but for anyone who may read this thread that doesn’t know this: remember to only send your essay to, as @DoDEAMom18 said, reliable posters. To me, this means someone with more than 500 posts, a reliable posting history (AKA, those 500+ posts aren’t just them volunteering to read people’s essays - lots of “likes” and “helpful” votes are good). Some people feel nervous about sending their essays to other applicants, like me, which I totally understand. Theoretically, if you choose a poster you know is reliable and helpful, you won’t have to worry about them using the essay “for evil”, haha.</p>
<p>I hope I’ve helped, and let me know if you have any remaining questions. :)</p>
