Plagiarism is a fast-rising problem in college admissions. Statementessay.com has released a free resource to help college applicants sidestep this grave problem.
(prHWY.com) October 23, 2011 - Fruitvale, CA -- (Encino, CA, 10/20/11) - There has historically always been stiff competition for top colleges. However, as the tough economy has forced people that would have normally applied to lower-tier schools and middle-tier applicants applying to upper-tier schools, the competition has heated up. This "flight to quality" is driven by the thinking that more prestigious or higher-ranked schools would increase one's employment chances upon graduation. Whether this assumption is true or not, the fact remains that competition is heating up.
Revving up for competition
To deal with this competition, many students are using the personal statement to get a competitive advantage. However, this essay is not a magic bullet. It only works as a tiebreaker if people are within a particular range of GPA and aptitude test scores. In particular, if two applicants are within the same range and one has bothered to write a convincing personal statement essay and another just went through the bases by just writing their resume in essay form, there is a distinct advantage for the person who took the time to write a compelling statement.
Quality matters
Social network sites are great for finding jobs, connecting with friends and even getting freelance work. However, by putting up bad links or putting up embarrassing information, many people are really causing themselves a personal harm. In the admissions context, many applicants to college are certainly abolishing their admissions chances by admitting plagiarism. Plagiarism is a major problem in the admissions context because the internet is littered with existing personal statement essays, which numerous people just copy and paste and submit as their own.
