# strategically edit your personal statement or statement of purpose to stand out

Having sat on admissions committees for **10** years, I know what makes a candidate stand out and what gets overlooked. I edit with that in mind. From vague introductions and clichéd phrasing to AI-generated language, I know the common mistakes and how to avoid them.

Strategic editing can transform an average statement into one that resonates with an entire committee and leaves a lasting impression. I’ve worked with applicants at every level, from undergraduates to fellows, and they’ve gone on to earn places at Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Stanford, ICL, MIT, and Cornell. I’d love to help you join them.

**What I need from you:**

A draft that explains your passion for the field and how it aligns with your long-term goals, your academic preparation, and any professional or extracurricular experience that demonstrates transferable skills.

From there, I’ll comprehensively edit your statement, strengthen structure and flow, and fill in critical gaps (I find them with every client).

*Need more than 850 words edited? Message me for a custom quote.*

**Credentials:** PhD, 10 years on admissions committees, 7 years as a university instructor, 25 years as a professional editor, and 6,000+ satisfied clients. Based in London, England.
