"The first tool that told me why my essay was flat instead of just 'make it more personal.' It quoted my own lines back and showed me exactly where the reflection was missing."
"I ran my Common App essay, fixed the top three flags, and re-scored. Watching the number climb from a 71 to an 86 kept me revising instead of guessing."
"As a parent, I loved that it never rewrites the essay — it coaches. My daughter's voice stayed hers; the feedback just made it sharper."
Great essays take rounds. The earlier you get a technical read, the more time you have to revise before deadlines hit. Start with 2 free evaluations and build your fix list today.
Common deadline dates — individual colleges vary. Confirm each school's dates.
Your essay is scored on the dimensions admissions readers actually weigh — from your opening and narrative arc to reflection, specificity, voice, and prompt fit.

No vague advice. Every score points to sentences from your essay and explains what's working — and what isn't — right there on the page.
