Full Description
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
I edit the content you provide me with to maintain academic integrity, but I fill in gaps, expand ideas, conduct desk research, and draw inferences to highlight your strengths and align your story with the program and prompts.
If you've revised a draft based on feedback from friends, family, or professors - and you’ve taken it as far as you can - it’s the right time to hire an editor to bring it across the finish line.
A lot. My service includes heavy rewriting, structural adjustments, and targeted feedback. I correct grammar and flow, but I also elevate voice, focus, and clarity throughout your draft.
Yes! Just make sure to purchase based on your draft’s total word count - including notes -not your target word count. I’ll synthesize and condense the draft as needed.
I edit personal statements, SOPs, secondaries, transfer essays, research proposals, diversity statements, CVs, letters of intent, reference letters, and more. This list isn't exhaustive, so please reach out with any questions.
Unfortunately, I cannot offer consulting or coaching services, since I receive a high volume of orders daily. I protect my time for editing to keep my rates affordable. Your draft must be finalized prior to working with me.
No. I'm AI-trained, so I can certainly humanize language and improve flow, but so-called "detectors" are new, unreliable, and evolving. My edits will sound natural, but I can't guarantee a clean result on all tools.
My clients - ranging from undergrads to fellows - have gotten into their dream schools, including Harvard, Cornell, Yale, Stanford, Oxford, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Brown, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, Caltech, UNC Chapel Hill, UCLA, Berkeley, UMich, Georgetown, Imperial College London, and more....
Choose the package based on total word count, including any comments. My service includes heavy editing and synthesis but not content expansion or brainstorming.
Yes, but be aware that AI sounds vague, repetitive, flat, and impersonal. I’ll humanize the language, strengthen the structure, and make sure your message is authentic, clear, and aligned with admissions goals.
