刚刚收到了EssayEdge修改过的文书。我用的是标准版,官网上说这个版本除了有校对服务,还有“Constructive critique with detailed advice for how to make your essay more compelling and relevant”都是骗人的!!根本没有什么constructive critique!! 闹太套!!还不如用最简单的校对版本呢!我查了一下帮我改文章的人,John Lurz, 以前也帮别人改过医学院申请的文章。但是我选的是MBA文章修改,按照他家网站上的说法,他应该帮我找大牛商院的人改文章。

附一下他给我的全文,大家来看看,是不是根本没有什么constructive critique!!完全是套样板!唯一那个要不要写2年毕业的问题还是我主动写信去问他的...


Thank you for choosing EssayEdge. I have thoroughly inspected your submission for infelicities of style, word choice issues, passive voice, clichés, abrupt transitions, and of course, grammatical errors. You have an excellent start on some very strong writing, and I enjoyed reading and editing your work. I particularly liked the specificity with which you discuss your career goals and the reasons why XXX is a good place for you to study.

You will notice that I have repeatedly smoothed out your syntax and phrasing to make your writing more concise. For instance, in the second to last paragraph, I have mentioned XXX’s “quantitative focus” rather than your description of how the school “welcomes newly graduated students with a demonstrated quantitative aptitude.” Additionally, I have deleted unnecessary or illogical verbiage to shorten the piece.

I do not think it is necessary to rehearse that you are finishing college in two years, since this will be evident in the transcript. If you would like to include that, however, I suggest adding a parenthetical remark after you mention Illinois’s prestigious accounting program – something like “(which I have been able to complete in two rather than four years).”

If you would like to view all the changes I made, you can use the Track Changes feature in Microsoft Word. Once in MW, Click "Tools" then "Track Changes," then "Highlight Changes," then check "Highlight Changes On Screen. If you are using the Microsoft XP version of Word, click "Tools" then "Track Changes." A Track Changes drop down menu and icon will appear. Make sure the icon is selected (depressed), and then use the drop down menu to select one of the following versions to view:

If you employ the Track Changes feature -- which I find indispensable for this type of edit -- you will notice that I have made substantial edits throughout every paragraph.

亲你用的是最贵的服务?可以改3次?
我觉得inconsistency也是不推荐essay edge的原因,如果editor的水平参差不齐,那么总有消费者要受害。
尤其当受害者是自己的时候,心里更难过。

我用的好像是那个可以来回critique 改两次的。
最后一次是我按照她第二次的意见改了以后,怕语言出问题,又发给她问了下。
按理说每次改完都死还有一个7天期可以嗟商的……


你怕啥啊,他要真给你改这么烂,你直接发邮件给他们客服点名要求换人好了。
维护权益吧,难道你吃亏了就这么忍着把钱浪费了?

说实话,这哥们儿写的东西颇有矫揉造作的意思,主要原则就是,能给你用拽词儿就绝对不会用正常人能懂的词儿,能把语法复杂化的地方绝对不会一句话就表达清楚。什么bs.

我昨天让Melissa Shaner ,那个说她改的好的,我呵呵。编辑质量差的不行,西方思维都是先给论点结论再给论据的,她居然给我倒过来,把论点全都放到最后,强烈怀疑是随便找的留学生改的,思维都是中式的,无语!
