Hi all,
Having spoken with someone involved with the music side of academia recently, I was surprised to learn that the practice of paying experts for help or advice with an application, or feedback on some kind of piece of work, is a common practice amongst applicants to competitive programmes. Is this an accepted practice within philosophy, or is it frowned upon? If the latter, how would one be best advised to go about acquiring professional feedback if one is not currently enrolled in any academic programme?
Thanks for the help.
