What Our Comments Look Like

Flawless Grammar

The Think Big team will make your essay free of any grammatical errors. We have years of experience as law review editors and journal editors in the ivy league, corporate attorneys, and high-achieving students ourselves to remove all the technical grammar issues in your essay. We can also help you use grammar to mimic the substance of the words in your essay.

Powerful Style

How you say something if often more important than what you say. We will help you phrase your sentences so that they are powerful and have depth while preserving your original intent.

Narrative Improvements

Your narrative is the most important part of your essay. You need to tell a story that is cohesive, powerful, and meaningful. At the same time, you want to make sure your story arc is focused and that each paragraph specifically drives the story forward. We can help you crystallize your unique story.

Precise and Actionable Commentary

Sometimes you may write and not even realize that your text is not necessary, off base, or awkward. We provide commentary comments to ensure that you have specific and actionable steps to take on your revision.

Brainstorming and Outline

If you are applying colleges or advanced degree programs and need to prepare a personal statement or other related essay but are having trouble getting started, we can help.

We have a tailored set of questions that we use with our students that helps bring out powerful stories and experiences that form the basis of your essay required by a college or advanced program. We can help you prepare an outline based on these questions that contains your personalized story arc, major themes, examples, and suggestions on how to develop the story. Some stories might have many themes, and some might focus on just one or two important experiences and themes.

It takes a little work, but we assure you that we can help you create a story that will help you get into your dream school.
