[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well that makes me feel bad!  My parents didn’t even see my essays.  Only I edited them.  Maybe that’s why I did so well in college.

+1  Mommy's helicoptering will only get you so far.  Once you're in college, you'll have to write your essays on your own.[/quote]
I believe this thread is about *editing*, and you’d be a fool to submit any paper without having another set of eyes go over it. [/quote]

I guess I'm a summa cum laude Ivy league grad fool.  I didn't know anyone who submitted papers, with the exception of a thesis, that were edited by others.[/quote]

Yeah me either. But what do I know — I only got into two elite universities without anyone else looking at my application essays, and then graduated in the top 10% of my class at a top 25 research university before graduating with honors from a top 10 grad program. Clearly I know nothing about how to succeed in school.  :lol: [/quote]

And here you are at 8pm mid week slumming it with all us schumucks.  :roll: [/quote]
