FAQ

We offer a "pay what you can" model, so you only pay what you can afford for your services.

The workflow for our services generally follows the below guidelines. 

1. After filling out the long-form survey, we will contact you about your requested service.
2. We will then email you a detailed survey if you selected the Comprehensive Package that will help us better serve you. Please answer the questions to the best of your ability. 
3. We will contact you to determine if we need anything else from you. 
4. After gathering the necessary information, we will send you the work product after our review. Timing depends on the service offered. See below for expected timing. 

You are more than welcome to email us with any questions while you are waiting for your document or service. 

When complete, we will send you a markup in .pdf and word that compares your initial draft with our comments. If you choose our Comprehensive or Premier services, we will send you (i)  a short loom video with screen share that walks you through our reasoning and thought process behind our more complicated comments and (ii) a one-page summary that outlines the strengths of your essay, areas for improvement, the edits done to your essay, and closing thoughts.

We guarantee to provide you with the best possible service at a price that works for you. 

We are usually not our best critics. We think that we are saying something clearly, but an outside observer may think otherwise. 

Having an experienced third party review your work is critical because they will be able to view your work from a new perspective and comment on issues that you may have not even considered. 

Please see the "Why Us?" page for a more detailed response. 

Anyone who is applying to college, graduate, or professional school who wants an experienced third party to review their documents. We, however, specialize in law school admissions.

Additionally, if you are applying for a job in the work force, we can review your resume, cover letter, or other materials.

We work with students in high school applying to college, students in college applying to graduate or professional school, and students already in higher education who currently wish to transfer schools. We also work with those who are applying directly for jobs in the work force. However, we specialize in students applying to law school.

Unfortunately, at this time we do not provide general essay editing services for students. We only provide essay editing services in connection with students applying to college, professional, or graduate school. However, we specialize in law school admissions.

The advice below generally applies, so please check your specific school for the exact deadlines. As a general matter, the ideal time to apply is shortly after the application process opens and not wait until the deadline.

Law School Important Dates

• August - February

Law schools typically start accepting applications on a rolling basis from August/September through February or March of the following year. We recommend at least 3-4 months to prepare your essays and other materials and at least 2-3 months to study for the LSAT. You can prepare for both concurrently, but with your current school workload and other obligations, it might be easiest to first take the LSAT and then prepare your essays and other application materials. 

If you are currently in law school and considering transferring schools, transfer applications typically open in May and close in July for a 2L start date in the Fall. 

MBA Admissions Important Dates

• September - April

Many business schools begin taking applications in the Fall on a rolling basis for different rounds. For example, certain schools may have a Round 1 application that opens in September and closes in November and a Round 2 application that opens in December and closes in February. Other business schools may start accepting applications in April for a start date in the Fall as well. MBA admissions vary by school, so please consider the specific school you are applying to. 

Generally, the advice remains the same: it takes 2-3 months to study for the GMAT or GRE and 3-4 months to prepare your essays and supplemental application materials. 

Medical School

• May - June - December

While most medical programs have applications that open in May and have cut off deadlines around the Fall/Winter, it is ideal to begin submitting your applications around June. 

Please allow 3-4 months of prep time for the MCAT and an additional 2-3 months for your application materials. 

Graduate School

• October - December

Most graduate programs have deadlines in the fourth quarter of the year, so you should begin preparing your application materials and studying for the GRE around 3-4 months before hand.

College

• August - February

Most schools have application deadlines around January/February with applications opening up in the early in the fall. 

Please allow yourself 3-4 months to study for the ACT/SAT and prepare your application materials. 

Some schools have rolling admissions or early decisions admissions, so please consult your specific school for hard deadlines.
