• Content - Impressing the admissions committee
  • We ensure that you present yourself as an accomplished, forthright, and thoughtful applicant by clearly articulating your dedication to research, your passion for your field, and your potential to contribute to your chosen specialty.
  • We improve the coherency of your essay by relying on personal details, not abstract generalizations, to convince the admissions committee of your favorable characteristics and of your motivation to pursue graduate-level study.
  • We focus the essay to directly address the question, and we make certain that the logic and organization of the essay flow naturally from the topic.

• Compelling Language - Making your essay powerful and distinctive
  • Admissions officers spend no more than a few minutes reading each statement. A strong graduate school statement will capture the reader's interest from the first word and compel a busy reviewer to admit you.
  • We help draw the reader into the narrative through vivid, compelling language and a strong voice. We counter the tendency of many graduate school applicants to write dull laundry lists of accomplishments and experiences.
  • We ensure that the introduction engages the reader and provides a good first impression. We edit the conclusion to avoid mere summary and to establish a sense of closure and balance in the essay.

• Tone - Preserving your voice
  • Editing is about strengthening your voice, not replacing it. Our 200+ editors check that your prose consistently conveys the attractive aspects of your personality and writing style.
  • We help you communicate to the committee that you are not only a GRE score and transcript but a real-life engaging personality and a talented graduate school applicant.

• Wordiness - Omitting the irrelevant
  • Since you have weeks to write a relatively short essay, it must be flawless and on topic. We reword awkward sentences and correct for verbosity and rambling.
  • We subject each sentence to a strict relevancy test. Any words, phrases, sentences, or paragraphs that do not improve your essay are dramatically restructured.

• Flow - Improving transition, structure, and readability
  • We improve your essay's logical progression, allowing a hurried reader to distill the most important facets of your background. We check that your sentences together form cohesive paragraphs, and that your paragraphs together form a cohesive essay.
  • We vary your sentence structure where necessary and insert transition to ensure the lucidity of your argument.
  • We verify that your paragraphs signal natural breaks in your thought progression and that you do not have too many or too few paragraphs. We clarify topic sentences and emphasize supporting details.

• Grammar, Mechanics, Word Choice - Editing at the lowest level
  • There is no excuse for grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, run-on sentences, or fragments. We correct all such mistakes.
  • We also correct word choice errors, catching subtle mistakes like improper use of prepositions.

• Multiple Essays - Increasing the synergies of a single application’s essays
  • Many graduate schools require multiple essays. We ensure that each essay presents a different but consistent image of your personality. 
  • We place the shorter essays in the context of the longer personal statements, making certain your application does not communicate contradictory information.

• Deadline, Critique, Support, and Privacy - Providing more than an edit
  • We return your edited essay and critique within 48 hours or within 24 hours if you pay an additional fee. We offer these fast turnaround times 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
  • The critique explains reasons for major stylistic and thematic adjustments to your essay. Critiques also suggest further content improvements and rate the essay’s overall effectiveness.
