awesome guys!

Im so gonna take you up on this, I've like re-written my essay trillions of times and I think, now, its decent looking. It's sometimes hard to compile your motivations, aspirations, experience and compassion into 5300 characters. So im glad that people with experience are willing to help us out!

--Steve

Sp-- he's right... a lot of people from last year aren't necessarily going to want to read this year.

I'll read... but don't look to me for an ego massage... I only give constructive criticism.

hilarious!!

I'll read 1 or 2 if you PM me this week. I'll mostly correct grammar, sentence structure, voice, style, etc. rather than content, since I was an English major.

I should have been more clear; he made a new one for this coming year.

i will read for people too

I'd love to!

it seems obvious to me that you two must fight a duel to the death for the rightful claim to thread legitimacy.

Octopus will add his name to both lists...

I'm up for it. I'll be able to do it after May 15th. Only string attached is that I'm limiting my help only to peeps w/ 100+ posts. however, i'm open to exceptions if the newbie happens to be a good lookin' SDN babe. j/k. i tend to not like lurkers so i think its only fair that I'll offer my help to long-time/prolific posters.

Sure, I'll play. And I won't even limit my help to members with a certain number of posts (since that would be unbelievably hypocritical, hehe.) I wish I had found this site last year when I was racking my brain over my own personal statement!

hey,

i think it'd be helpful if the volunteers listed a brief description of themselves so applicants could know who is a similar type of applicant.

i.e. : year in college, non trad, took year off, extensive research, extensive volunteer, career change, urm, hometown, etc.
