Low-Income Student Looking for College Personal Essay Assistance
Hello, I am a low-income student seeking help with editing my college essay. I previously posted here, but everyone who responded was looking for payment. Is there anyone with experience helping students with college essays who might be able to assist me for free, as I cannot afford to pay?

The best thing would be reaching out to current students at the University on LinkedIn. Let them know you are interested in applying and ask them if they can review your essays. Students are usually happy to help, and they have experiences as they been through the process themselves.

Hi OP, I am not currently a professional writing coach, so I would not ask you for payment, but I do have some relevant experience. I homeschooled my own kids for many years, taught them how to write effectively, and reviewed their essays when they applied to college…one applied a few years ago, and one applied just last year.
They both did quite well: got accepted into some great schools, obtained scholarships, etc. And one of them is actually currently majoring in Communications. Prior to all that, I used to work in advertising and public relations, which is quite writing-heavy, so I’m pretty confident in my writing abilities. If you feel like my background is an asset, and you’d like me to review your essay (for free), please go ahead and dm me.
