s5260205 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Have you been to writing centre at your school? I always find them quite helpful for some rudimentary corrections like grammar and some advice on the format, the phrasing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattg Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 you probably don't want to post your essay on this site / the internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garret9 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'd only suggest sharing that essay with proffesionals or people you trust... It's personal information that people would love to exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lactic Folly Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 If someone is offering their time and insights for free, either you are comfortable sending your essay to them (based on their previous record of forum posts), or you're not. Asking for credentials is more productive if you're paying for the service, since it's unlikely to reassure you if you are wary about sending your essay to someone on the internet.

mattg Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 i guess that's true, but it would probably still be good to know someone's experience with writing essays / applying to med school / acceptances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still wouldn't trust them... especially if they are also applying to the medschool cycle that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
