[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny. I had to flag parts of my kid's essay because her word choice/phrasing sounded like an old lady. I was worried Admissions would think her parent wrote it (like an earlier poster or 2 did, clearly, and sadly, it is a thing). I did not write or offer suggestions, just marked areas that seemed clunky or old ladyish.[/quote] And your kid changed them because of you. No difference. [/quote] The essay is not like the writing section of the ACT where you have a certain time to write by yourself. You should never let your DC just send it in. In most schools public and private both the English teacher and the counselor review and edit. Many people have others do same. It is still their work. Hemmingway often shared his writing and got feedback. Published as his because it was his. Editors of every book do the same (and rewrite). None of this is cheating. [/quote]
