How many people have used EssayForum and gotten into the colleges they applied to?
And what colleges? Have you ever heard of college admission officers looking through the site?

Thanks

It doesn't matter if college admission officers look through this site or not, unless you copy someone else's work.

Yeah. Just make sure you have your real name on here so that they can be sure you're the real author. I don't really think it matters though

Yeah. I have actually heard of them coming through here once, but as long as your work is unique you should be fine. I used the essay I posted here and I got accepted to the colleges I wanted to.

I think it does not matter, unless you copy a essay from this site.
Because, most of people are upload their own work. The other people are only commented about mechanics, structure style, and overall comments. I think that it is not illegal way to get into the college.

yes, but i have used this site along with an English teacher at my high school and have gotten accepted to every single college I had applied to. But many other things are taken account including your cumulative high school GPA, criminal record, SAT and ACT scores, your essays, and teacher recommendation letters.

Well, don't use this site as your only way to revise and edit essays. You can have a teacher, parent, or guidance counselor edit your work before submitting it.

Damn, I knew I was missing something... my GPA is good, SATs are good, essays strong, and I have lots of extra curriculars, but my criminal record is next to nothing... I need to beef it up if I want to get into a good school!

I hope so! I'm proud of how much good work you have all done here. And I often tell people they should become contributors so that they can list that on their applications and resumes, etc.

I don't know the answer to your question about how many people have gotten in to colleges after getting help here, but people often come back and say "thanks I got accepted," etc.

Most importantly, we need to remember that the only alternative to this kind of collaboration is to NOT collaborate, and failure to collaborate is dangerous in this fast-paced information age.

A writer's group is a writer's group is a writer's group. :-)
