Service Details:

For one low fee EssayEdge provides a full edit and critique within 24 or 48 hours. Please read the service details below:

• Content - Impressing the school
  • We help improve the power of your essay by relying on personal details, not abstract generalizations, to convince the school of your favorable characteristics and of your potential to contribute to the student community. 
  • We help focus the essay to address the question directly, making certain that the logic and organization of the essay flow naturally from the topic.

• Compelling Language - Making your essay memorable
  • School officials spend no more than a few minutes reading each statement. A strong private school essay 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 by helping you develop vivid, compelling language and a strong voice. We ensure that your essay does not fizzle into a series of vague statements or succumb to the usual clichés: the value of hard work and perseverance, learning from mistakes, the importance of friendship, etc.
  • We work with you to ensure that the introduction engages the reader and provides a good first impression. We suggest ways to 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. We do not make your eighth grade child sound like a college professor; instead, we help him or her enhance the flow, sincerity, and impact. 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 standardized test score and a transcript but also a real-life engaging personality who will thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

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

• Flow - Improving transition, structure, and readability
  • We help 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 help you 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 help you 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 make sure you find and correct all such mistakes.
  • We also help correct word choice errors, catching subtle mistakes like improper use of prepositions.

• Multiple Essays - Increasing the synergies of a single application’s essays
  • Many schools require multiple parent and student essays. We ensure that each essay presents a different but consistent image of your candidacy. 
  • We help you place the shorter essays in the context of the longer essays, 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.
