Thanks, Kaneisha! You hit the nail on the head as to which of the intructions I was following - i.e. the recommendation choice, which I imagine will just take up a few lines. The second point was the one I was more concerned about - I have mentioned my thesis elsewhere and I do feel like, as you sai...

Good point, though I'm thinking that editing and the use of entirely different topics should not heavily influence how similar the essays may be. Anyhow, perhaps better in this case to edit essays from other schools, keeping this thought in mind. Again, please let me know if you're interested (no re...

Peer essay-editing, anyone?
Hi all, I just took the GMAT and have one month to revise (and write, for some of them) my essays for Wharton, Harvard, Stanford. Wondering if anyone would be interested (not sure if this is a good idea, but it seems like it) in peer editing essays. Obviously would be very helpful if it were the sam...

Is the median of the numbers in set S equal to the median of the numbers in Set T? 1. the median of the...

Hi all, First of all, thank you for all your help so far on this forum. It has been integral in my study process.

Thanks so much for the additional input - and agree that I'd like to hear what the experts think! I honestly think (and will tell the exbf) that I'd like him to be honest - the last thing I want to do is to have some sort of risky situation with my recommendations come back to bite me in the behind....

Jennifer, Thanks so much for your response. I am pretty concerned about my peer recommendation. To give a little bit of background, I only graduated a few years ago and Stanford's peer definition is pretty specific - can't be subordinate or superior to me. However, the community service program I wa...

Thanks for the response! Do you think my co-mentor for the program would be suited? Unfortunately, my co-mentors changed in the two years so I have only known this guy for a year. I looked at some of the recommendation questions and not sure how he'll respond to stuff like "how did you work in ...

Peer review - someone I mentored?
Hi,
Would it be a bad idea to ask a high school student I mentored to write the peer review for me for Stanford and/or third recommendation for Harvard? Not thinking clearly at this point. I could also ask my co-mentor, but he's only been my co-mentor for a year.
Thanks!
