Overall Critique
Our editors provide an overall evaluation of your essay, including broad recommendations on content and style, as well as a measurement of your essay's potential at the school of your choice. See example below:
*Creative essay. Generally good use of thematic analogies. You present an idea and build upon it. You maintain a conversational flow within your essay, which helps to engage the reader. Somewhat choppy and occasionally illogical transitions.
**Risky content - Remember that your readers are people whose jobs depend on the admissions essays. Hopefully, the light-hearted nature of the essay will keep them at ease. The rest of your application should determine the risk you choose to take with your essay. For example, students with high standardized test scores and high GPAs should consider a low-risk essay when applying to less selective universities. Conversely, students with low standardized test scores and low to mid GPAs should consider a higher essay risk level when applying to most selective universities.
