Quick Question for Moderators!

Hey EF Team!

Thank you for all your support! This website has done wonders for me and I am glad such a forum exists. However, I saw that you guys were discussing copyright issues and plagiarizing the works of other students. I posted my main common app essay along with a couple supplements...so, I was wondering if colleges in general run all the essays through a detection software for any sort of plagiarizing and I was also wondering if I should contact my colleges and give them my ID and password so they can verify that it's my work. I am afraid that they may dispose of my application for plagiarizing without my knowing. Thank you so much for your time! I apologize ahead of time if this question was posed by another EF member. I am just another paranoid high school kid making sure his chances of getting into college get even slimmer than it already is :)

There's no need to provide them with your username or password; all you need to do is to provide your real first and last name (and school name if possible). The name is automatically included on the bottom of your posts; even if someone finds your post online they could check your name and other details in your profile to validate your information.
