Service Details:

For one low fee EssayEdge provides a full edit and critique of all essays in a single application. Our editors return the edit and critique by email within 24 or 48 hours. Please read the service details below:

• Content - Impressing the Program Director
  • We improve the coherency of your essay by relying on personal details, not abstract generalizations, to convince the Program Director of your favorable characteristics and of your motivation to pursue your specialty.
  • We ensure that you provide evidence of the soft skills, like compassion, motivation, determination, integrity, and stability, which are so critical to success in a residency program.
  • 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
  • Program Directors spend no more than a few minutes reading each essay. A strong residency statement will capture the reader's interest from the first word and compel a busy Program Director to invite you to an interview.
  • We help draw the reader into the narrative through vivid, compelling language and a strong voice. We counter the tendency of many residency program 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 more than a USMLE score and a transcript but also a real-life engaging personality who would make a strong addition to a residency program.

• 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 edit your essay to help the reader follow its logical progression. We ensure 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
  • Some residency programs 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.
  • You may ask clarifying questions of your editors by email once you receive your edit and critique.
  • We protect your privacy. View our business principles.
