Terms of Service

CollegeEssayBoard.org is a free platform for admitted students to voluntarily share their college acceptance essays. By using this site, you agree to the following:

Essays are shared for reference only. Copying any essay’s content, wording, or structure into your own application is plagiarism and may result in your admission being rescinded. CollegeEssayBoard.org is not responsible for how visitors use shared content.

Verified Badges confirm that an acceptance letter was reviewed — they do not guarantee that the essay contributed to the admission decision.

Anonymity — posters are shown by initial only. Real names are never displayed publicly.

Copyright. If you believe content on this site infringes your copyright, file a takedown request at /dmca.

Age requirements. You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. Users 13–15 need a parent’s one-time approval before posting an essay or donating.
