Essay RX
NEED SOMEONE TO LOOK OVER YOUR COLLEGE ESSAY BEFORE YOU HIT SEND?
Have you written and rewritten your college essay, but it still doesn't seem quite right? Here's the thing: Instead of wowing admissions officers, the vast majority of college application essays are lackluster or worse — they lack focus, are incredibly boring, don't reveal anything about the applicant, and the tone and message are off.
We have a solution — Essay Rx, which can help you polish and perfect your essay!
Here's how it works: Send us a draft of your essay, and we will review it and offer feedback regarding the topic, content, theme, tone, and grammar — all within 48 hours. The fee is $200. You can also schedule a private 30-minute meeting via Zoom with one of our tutors, all professional writers, editors, and writing instructors, for an additional $100. The service can be used to evaluate the Common Application essay or the all-important supplemental essays.
Expert Tip: You can change your Common App essay for colleges you apply to during the regular decision cycle, but you can't change the essay after you've submitted it to a college. Read more here.
