Our Editing Makes the Difference.

Discuss an accomplishment that sparked personal growth. Describe a problem you solved and its significance to you. Reflect on a time when you challenged a belief.

We all know the questions. The problem is there are 500,000 different answers.

Only 1 in 20 applicants will get admitted to an elite college, and only 1 in 5 will receive admission to the best state schools. With so much competition, test scores and grades only go so far. You need the perfect essay.

The job of a good application essay is to stand out. Good grammar and solid prose are table stakes, but they’re also not enough: you have to write an essay that compels a busy admissions officer to pause, take note, look through your application a second time, and find a reason to accept you.

You have all the time in the world to write your essay, and admissions officers know it. They expect you to take it seriously. They expect good writing and self-awareness. They expect you to show how important their school is to you. 

We can help. We’ve edited tens of thousands of essays over the last 23 years. We’ve helped students beat out valedictorians for admission to Ivy League schools. We’ve helped students with average grades and test scores gain entry to schools as varied as Berkeley and Oxford.

The admissions essay is an art and a science. That’s why we combine Harvard-educated editors with sophisticated AI. We care about more than your writing—we care about your success, and we pride ourselves on results. That’s why we started this company. We’ve satisfied tens of thousands of parents and students, and we will satisfy you.

Trust us with your essay, and let us prove to you the power of The Master Edit.
