I want your general opinion on something- I was talking with my roommate (Junior in college) about application essays, and we were discussing whether it was acceptable to pay for a tutoring service to help you get your essays written.

I admit that I had help with that when I was a senior in high school, but the people I worked with made me write my own essay. I have encountered a LOT of people here in college who had help with it almost to the extent that someone else wrote it for them. I think help is ok, because the process is so competitive, but I wondered what you all who are currently applying think?
