If we write an essay to turn in for one college but there is another essay we need to send in to apply somewhere else, can we ask you to proofread that one as well?

ok what if when im applying to a few different colleges they all want me to write an essay about different topics?

BH - Yes, I'm expecting to read all of your college essays, even if you have to write 7 seperate ones. I want you to do the best you can on ALL your apps.

EM - sucks to be you! :)
We can try to craft one essay than can be used for each one with a little tweaking. This might work so that instead of 7, you have to write 4.

For some of my applications there are multiple short answer questions to also answer....do you want to see those as well?

Clare,
I want to proofread what you send in - even the little 150 word paragraphs. It's good to have fresh eyes check things over.
