right, because admissions people don't think that people seek feedback and editing help. I've talked to the admissions people at my school and they are...wait for it... people. Be honest with themf7u12 wrote:Are you just pulling ideas out of your ass?emkay625 wrote:Yeah, seriously. Here is what you should do:
1. E-mail a TLS moderator and ask how to proceed.
2. Contact LSAC and tell them what happened. Attach copies of the e-mails from the guy/girl who stole it.
Then, I would e-mail/call the admissions offices for each school you applied to and do the same thing.
Also, if you wanted to, you could probably take legal action.
Do NOT contact admissions and say, "Hey I couldn't edit my own personal statements so I sent them to some stranger on an internet forum without investigating who the fuck he was and he stole them."

yes. I am. But this is not legal advice because I am not a lawyer.emkay625 wrote:No clue.johnnyutah wrote:Under what theory?emkay625 wrote:Also, if you wanted to, you could probably take legal action.

I'm at my in-laws. Everyone else is outside putting up christmas lights. I've been assigned to stay inside and make sure the puppies (there are two here) don't eat anything. They're both currently sleeping.
Also, to be fair, he only had 7 posts.

Seriously.MrKappus wrote:Legal action for copyright infringement for a 2-page PS? Anyone who tells you to do this is an idiot. Rewrite and be more discerning next time.
And maybe write something unique and personal so it's not so easy to steal.MrKappus wrote:Legal action for copyright infringement for a 2-page PS? Anyone who tells you to do this is an idiot. Rewrite and be more discerning next time.
You can write a decent PS in literally two hours. If you can't go from nothing to polished PS in a weekend then you're doing something wrong.emkay625 wrote:OP are you a quick writer? How long would a rewrite take?
