College Personal Statement Services

If you don't need comprehensive, start-to-finish personal statement assistance, but need help perfecting a draft you already have, then we recommend our hourly plans. This way, you only pay for what you need.

Here’s how it works:

1. Review and critique the macro. You send your personal statement drafts to your consultant who reviews them for overall readability and interest. She checks if you have: 
   • Answered the question.
   • Presented yourself distinctively.
   • Organized your personal statement(s) logically.
   • Developed engaging openings and effective conclusions.
     
     
   The consultant then provides you with feedback and recommends ways to improve. You revise and send the revised versions back.
2. Edit the micro. After your consultant checks the macro level, she focuses this time on the micro, specifically clarity, grammar, style, spelling, and word usage. She then sends you drafts with suggested corrections.
3. Submit your awesome personal statements!

How much to buy? That depends on the number of drafts as well as the quality of your writing. You can either obtain a free estimate before purchasing or use the estimate guidelines to purchase and proceed ASAP. 

 You can use the time you purchase for any hourly Accepted service including interview coaching and resume editing.

With the Personal Statement Package, you’ll receive:

1. Up-front guidance and advising to save you “churn time.” You introduce yourself to your consultant via a questionnaire. After reviewing the questionnaire, your consultant meets with you on the phone or Skype to get to know you better and discuss the best way to present you and your qualifications in your personal statement. During this brainstorming session, you will discuss a core idea, seminal experiences to include in the personal statement, and a structure for the personal statement.
2. An outline for your personal statement based on your responses in the questionnaire and the brainstorming session. The outline consists of prompts and bullet points. It is NOT a draft. Clients say that the conversation and the outline give them the direction they need to write, save time, and ultimately help them produce a superior final result.
3. Personal statement editing. Your consultant checks your personal statement for clarity, grammar, style, spelling, and word usage. She then sends you drafts with suggested corrections. You revise it and send it back. You then go back and forth editing and revising this personal statement until you are happy with it. Most personal statements benefit from 2-4 reviews.

The Personal Statement Package will give you the confidence of knowing you are submitting an awesome personal statement.
