Essay Review by Students Who Actually Got Into Ivy League Schools
Get your essay reviewed by graduates of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT. They wrote essays that worked—and they know what admissions officers are looking for.
Why Top University Expert Reviews Are Different
They recently went through this exact process
Our reviewers are recent graduates of top universities—not consultants who graduated 20 years ago. They know what works in today's admissions landscape because they recently navigated it successfully.
They know what admissions officers look for
Getting into Harvard or Yale means understanding what makes an essay stand out. Your reviewer wrote an essay that got them accepted—and they can spot what's missing in yours.
They give you honest, specific feedback
No sugar-coating. If your topic is generic, they'll tell you. If your opening is weak, they'll show you how to fix it. You get real advice, not vague encouragement.
They understand what "standing out" actually means
Most essays sound the same. Our reviewers know how to identify what makes you different and help you articulate it in a way that admissions officers remember.

What Makes an Essay "Ivy League-Ready"?
A Unique, Authentic Topic
Not "the sports injury" or "my mission trip." Your topic should reveal something only you could write about. If 1,000 other applicants could have the same essay, it's not working.
Specific, Vivid Details
Strong essays show through scenes, dialogue, and sensory details. Weak essays tell with generic statements like "I learned the value of hard work." Admissions officers want to see your story, not a summary of life lessons.
Intellectual Curiosity or Maturity
Ivy League essays often reveal how you think, not just what you've done. The best essays show genuine curiosity, systems thinking, or mature reflection that goes beyond "I'm a hard worker."
A Voice That Sounds Like You
Admissions officers can tell when an adult wrote your essay or when you're using a thesaurus to sound smart. The best essays sound like an articulate 17-year-old, not a corporate memo.
No Red Flags
Grammar errors, clichés, going over word count, sounding entitled or negative, inappropriate topics—any of these can sink an otherwise strong essay. Our reviewers catch these before admissions officers see them.
Common Questions
How do I know my reviewer is really from a top university?
All reviewers provide verified credentials from their universities. We manually vet every reviewer before they can review essays, ensuring they graduated from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, or other top institutions.
Can I request a reviewer from a specific school?
In the Comprehensive package, yes—you can request a reviewer from the school you're applying to. For other packages, we match you with the next available qualified reviewer from our network.
Will my reviewer write or edit my essay for me?
No. That would be unethical and admissions officers can spot essays written by adults. Your reviewer gives you detailed feedback on what to change and why—you make the revisions so your essay stays authentic.
What if my reviewer says my topic is too generic?
We'll be honest with you. If your topic won't help you stand out, your reviewer will explain why and suggest alternative angles or new topics. Premium and Elite packages include topic brainstorming help.
Do you review supplemental essays too?
Yes. This pricing applies to any college essay: Common App, supplementals, UC essays, scholarship essays, "Why This College" essays. Price is per essay.
What's your refund policy?
7-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with your review, email us within 7 days for a full refund, no questions asked.
