How We Improve Your Essay
- Content Risk Level
- Our editors evaluate your essay's potential based upon the appropriate content risk level, offering alternative content suggestions if necessary. To determine the appropriate content risk level for your essay, our editors consider the following: the competitiveness of the college or university of your choice, the school's admissions essay expectations, your standardized test scores, your GPA, and other optional information included with the essay submission. For example, an applicant with stellar test scores and a high grade point average should consider using a low content risk level when writing an admissions essay for a less competitive college.
- Grammar
- Our editors correct misspellings, punctuation errors, indentation errors, capitalization mistakes, and other commonly overlooked grammatical details.
- Wordiness
- Our editors eliminate awkward word choice, irrelevant information, and run-on sentences, offering concise alternatives that help sustain an effortless flow of diction throughout your essay.
- Sentences
- Our editors rework choppy transitional sentences and dull topic sentences, offering suggestions for seamless, engaging transitions that set the proper tone for the supporting sentences that follow.
- Structure
- Our editors modify poor or mediocre sentence and paragraph structure, freeing your essay of run-on sentences, sentence fragments, and illogical paragraph positioning. These modifications contribute to an overall structurally sound essay with a well-developed progression of ideas.
- Style
- Our editors replace monotonous word selection and sentence structure with mood setting adverbs, emotionally powerful adjectives, and hyper-charged action verbs, all while preserving the voice that is unique to your individuality.
