Default A huge favor - Grammar check for college essay.
I have completed my college essay for transferring. It is 500 words and I would be greatly appreciative if any of you can take a look at it and check it for any grammatical mistakes. Please send me a PM if you can do this! I will return the favor anyway I can.

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.

You misspelled number one receiver.

It starts with a D and ends with a Z.

If you need an extra set of eyes PM me. I'm a linguist and I was editor of an undergraduate scholarly journal while in college.

There is no formula for success except an unconditional acceptance of life and what it brings.

I hate what the internet has done to academic pursuits.

Call me old fashioned, but perhaps a college essay should be completed in its entirety by the student, punctuation and all. This isn't a shot as the OP because he's almost forced to get help as everyone else is.

I've seen students buy their class rank online for the most part and it infuriates me.
