SDN supporter status notwithstanding, why would you use something like that when *most* people have an entire university to use-- for FREE? (well, you pay tuition and such so maybe for "no added fee" is more appropritate, lol) English department, anyone? an essay is an essay, and it doesn't take "special" knowledge of the application process to know what a good essay should sound like. Surely in all those pre-med classes and pre-reqs for graduation you've met at least one English or Literature professor that would do at least as good of a job as the online $$$ services.
the online services prey on pre-med students' fear that everything has to be done perfectly, that they need an edge, that you're *supposed* to have everything done professionally or you won't get accepted. does no one else laugh when they read the banner adds that read "will your essay be DOA?" and "will your essay bore the admissions officers?" c'mon people, have a little faith in yourselves 🙂 i'd be more concerned with boring them at the interview than your essay, it by far holds more weight.
