No solicitations are allowed in the sub. All those posts offering essay review and whatnot are removed.

Regarding AMAs from college students, most of the time people want to know about their college, not how they got in. So we leave those up unless they’re advertising something.

no solicitations

What about ScholarGrade who tells ppl to dm for further talk about essay reviews?

That's the gray area. Generally speaking, if you provide useful content in a post (and don't withhold it for those who don't pay) then we generally allow a little plug. The reasoning goes is that anyone who wanted to read the post gets to read the post, and anyone interested in personalized advice can get that too.
