"I think the service was very prompt and helpful. I enjoyed the fact that aside from editing for grammar and flow I was given feedback on subject matter as well as how I could further strengthen my point. It felt more personal and like the editor actually put in thought into their editing versus just editing to get it over with and increase the turnover. "

"Just wanted to say thank you so much for the effort you are putting into this. Especially as an international student this website has been a HUGE benefit to me in proofreading my essays. The feedback was great. A big thanks to Avyay Surampalli as I can see a clear difference in how much better my essay is now. "

"I appreciate receiving feedback that helped me really think about how I can show and not just tell in statement. I have taken their advice into consideration. While I don’t have the time to resubmit any new drafts, I would once again like to say thanks for the feedback."

"The service was amazingly thoughtful, thorough and specific. Their tips certainly improved my writing for the better. I’m really impressed with the suggestions made to my personal essay and their ideas on how to improve it! Most editors criticize, Caroline did not criticize, she made helpful suggestions and showed examples and provided solutions. I am more than grateful for this amazing free service! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"There were quite a few underlying issues within my essays that I did not grasp initially, but he [Areeb] was able to spot them and explain how to address them. Communication with him has been excellent and he responds to emails quickly and is very punctual when it comes to making edits in a timely manner."

"The service is so easy to use and gets you very useful feedback. The only thing is to advertise it more. I know so many people who would have done this if they had known about it."

"Just coming back here to say thank you guys so much for the great service. I literally paid $135 for an editor who gave me only grammar edits. I had Dana using this service and she really went through my stuff thoroughly and was awesome! I'll definitely be recommending you guys! I really can't believe this service is free I'd even pay."

"Mark was super helpful and thorough with his edits! I appreciated the compliments and constructive criticism and I look forward to creating a second draft. The comments left me teary eyed! I was really nervous about submitting my first draft but I'm glad I did. He gave me really great ideas and I felt inspired after reading all of the comments he left on my draft. The turnaround time was also fairly quick!"

"So easy, and so much more helpful. Dani left comments that helped me clarify my essay. She fixed grammar mistakes (more than Grammarly) read through my entire essay closely, and scrutinized it to make sure it was well written. Not only this she added recommendations based on what admission counselors were looking for. "
