Getting College Essay Help: Important Do's and Don’ts

College Essays

If you grow up to be a professional writer, everything you write will first go through an editor before being published. This is because the process of writing is really a process of re-writing —of rethinking and reexamining your work, usually with the help of someone else. So what does this mean for your student writing? And in particular, what does it mean for very important, but nonprofessional writing like your college essay? Should you ask your parents to look at your essay? Pay for an essay service?

If you are wondering what kind of help you can, and should, get with your personal statement, you've come to the right place! In this article, I'll talk about what kind of writing help is useful, ethical, and even expected for your college admission essay . I'll also point out who would make a good editor, what the differences between editing and proofreading are, what to expect from a good editor, and how to spot and stay away from a bad one.

The Bottom Line

What's next, what kind of help with your essay can you get.

Rather than talking in general terms about "help," let's first clarify the two different ways that someone else can improve your writing . There is editing, which is the more intensive kind of assistance that you can use throughout the whole process. And then there's proofreading, which is the last step of really polishing your final product.

Let me go into some more detail about editing and proofreading, and then explain how good editors and proofreaders can help you."

Editing is helping the author (in this case, you) go from a rough draft to a finished work . Editing is the process of asking questions about what you're saying, how you're saying it, and how you're organizing your ideas. But not all editing is good editing . In fact, it's very easy for an editor to cross the line from supportive to overbearing and over-involved.

Ability to clarify assignments. A good editor is usually a good writer, and certainly has to be a good reader. For example, in this case, a good editor should make sure you understand the actual essay prompt you're supposed to be answering.

Open-endedness. Good editing is all about asking questions about your ideas and work, but without providing answers. It's about letting you stick to your story and message, and doesn't alter your point of view.

Think of an editor as a great travel guide. It can show you the many different places your trip could take you. It should explain any parts of the trip that could derail your trip or confuse the traveler. But it never dictates your path, never forces you to go somewhere you don't want to go, and never ignores your interests so that the trip no longer seems like it's your own. So what should good editors do?

Help Brainstorm Topics

Sometimes it's easier to bounce thoughts off of someone else. This doesn't mean that your editor gets to come up with ideas, but they can certainly respond to the various topic options you've come up with. This way, you're less likely to write about the most boring of your ideas, or to write about something that isn't actually important to you.

If you're wondering how to come up with options for your editor to consider, check out our guide to brainstorming topics for your college essay .

Help Revise Your Drafts

Here, your editor can't upset the delicate balance of not intervening too much or too little. It's tricky, but a great way to think about it is to remember: editing is about asking questions, not giving answers .

Revision questions should point out:

• Places where more detail or more description would help the reader connect with your essay
• Places where structure and logic don't flow, losing the reader's attention
• Places where there aren't transitions between paragraphs, confusing the reader
• Moments where your narrative or the arguments you're making are unclear

But pointing to potential problems is not the same as actually rewriting—editors let authors fix the problems themselves.

Bad editing is usually very heavy-handed editing. Instead of helping you find your best voice and ideas, a bad editor changes your writing into their own vision.

You may be dealing with a bad editor if they:

• Add material (examples, descriptions) that doesn't come from you
• Use a thesaurus to make your college essay sound "more mature"
• Add meaning or insight to the essay that doesn't come from you
• Tell you what to say and how to say it
• Write sentences, phrases, and paragraphs for you
• Change your voice in the essay so it no longer sounds like it was written by a teenager

Colleges can tell the difference between a 17-year-old's writing and a 50-year-old's writing. Not only that, they have access to your SAT or ACT Writing section, so they can compare your essay to something else you wrote. Writing that's a little more polished is great and expected. But a totally different voice and style will raise questions.

Where's the Line Between Helpful Editing and Unethical Over-Editing?

Sometimes it's hard to tell whether your college essay editor is doing the right thing. Here are some guidelines for staying on the ethical side of the line.

• An editor should say that the opening paragraph is kind of boring, and explain what exactly is making it drag. But it's overstepping for an editor to tell you exactly how to change it.
• An editor should point out where your prose is unclear or vague. But it's completely inappropriate for the editor to rewrite that section of your essay.
• An editor should let you know that a section is light on detail or description. But giving you similes and metaphors to beef up that description is a no-go.

Proofreading (also called copy-editing) is checking for errors in the last draft of a written work. It happens at the end of the process and is meant as the final polishing touch. Proofreading is meticulous and detail-oriented, focusing on small corrections. It sands off all the surface rough spots that could alienate the reader.

Because proofreading is usually concerned with making fixes on the word or sentence level, this is the only process where someone else can actually add to or take away things from your essay . This is because what they are adding or taking away tends to be one or two misplaced letters.

Laser focus. Proofreading is all about the tiny details, so the ability to really concentrate on finding small slip-ups is a must.

Excellent grammar and spelling skills. Proofreaders need to dot every "i" and cross every "t." Good proofreaders should correct spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar. They should put foreign words in italics and surround quotations with quotation marks. They should check that you used the correct college's name, and that you adhered to any formatting requirements (name and date at the top of the page, uniform font and size, uniform spacing).

Limited interference. A proofreader needs to make sure that you followed any word limits. But if cuts need to be made to shorten the essay, that's your job and not the proofreader's.

A bad proofreader either tries to turn into an editor, or just lacks the skills and knowledge necessary to do the job.

Some signs that you're working with a bad proofreader are:

• If they suggest making major changes to the final draft of your essay. Proofreading happens when editing is already finished.
• If they aren't particularly good at spelling, or don't know grammar, or aren't detail-oriented enough to find someone else's small mistakes.
• If they start swapping out your words for fancier-sounding synonyms, or changing the voice and sound of your essay in other ways. A proofreader is there to check for errors, not to take the 17-year-old out of your writing.

What Do Colleges Think of Your Getting Help With Your Essay?

Admissions officers agree: light editing and proofreading are good—even required ! But they also want to make sure you're the one doing the work on your essay. They want essays with stories, voice, and themes that come from you. They want to see work that reflects your actual writing ability, and that focuses on what you find important.

On the Importance of Editing

Get feedback. Have a fresh pair of eyes give you some feedback. Don't allow someone else to rewrite your essay, but do take advantage of others' edits and opinions when they seem helpful. ( Bates College )

Read your essay aloud to someone. Reading the essay out loud offers a chance to hear how your essay sounds outside your head. This exercise reveals flaws in the essay's flow, highlights grammatical errors and helps you ensure that you are communicating the exact message you intended. ( Dickinson College )

On the Value of Proofreading

Share your essays with at least one or two people who know you well—such as a parent, teacher, counselor, or friend—and ask for feedback. Remember that you ultimately have control over your essays, and your essays should retain your own voice, but others may be able to catch mistakes that you missed and help suggest areas to cut if you are over the word limit. ( Yale University )

Proofread and then ask someone else to proofread for you. Although we want substance, we also want to be able to see that you can write a paper for our professors and avoid careless mistakes that would drive them crazy. ( Oberlin College )

On Watching Out for Too Much Outside Influence

Limit the number of people who review your essay. Too much input usually means your voice is lost in the writing style. ( Carleton College )

Ask for input (but not too much). Your parents, friends, guidance counselors, coaches, and teachers are great people to bounce ideas off of for your essay. They know how unique and spectacular you are, and they can help you decide how to articulate it. Keep in mind, however, that a 45-year-old lawyer writes quite differently from an 18-year-old student, so if your dad ends up writing the bulk of your essay, we're probably going to notice. ( Vanderbilt University )

Now let's talk about some potential people to approach for your college essay editing and proofreading needs. It's best to start close to home and slowly expand outward. Not only are your family and friends more invested in your success than strangers, but they also have a better handle on your interests and personality. This knowledge is key for judging whether your essay is expressing your true self.

Parents or Close Relatives

Your family may be full of potentially excellent editors! Parents are deeply committed to your well-being, and family members know you and your life well enough to offer details or incidents that can be included in your essay. On the other hand, the rewriting process necessarily involves criticism, which is sometimes hard to hear from someone very close to you.

A parent or close family member is a great choice for an editor if you can answer "yes" to the following questions. Is your parent or close relative a good writer or reader? Do you have a relationship where editing your essay won't create conflict? Are you able to constructively listen to criticism and suggestion from the parent?

One suggestion for defusing face-to-face discussions is to try working on the essay over email. Send your parent a draft, have them write you back some comments, and then you can pick which of their suggestions you want to use and which to discard.

Teachers or Tutors

A humanities teacher that you have a good relationship with is a great choice. I am purposefully saying humanities, and not just English, because teachers of Philosophy, History, Anthropology, and any other classes where you do a lot of writing, are all used to reviewing student work.

Moreover, any teacher or tutor that has been working with you for some time, knows you very well and can vet the essay to make sure it "sounds like you."

If your teacher or tutor has some experience with what college essays are supposed to be like, ask them to be your editor. If not, then ask whether they have time to proofread your final draft.

Guidance or College Counselor at Your School

The best thing about asking your counselor to edit your work is that this is their job. This means that they have a very good sense of what colleges are looking for in an application essay.

At the same time, school counselors tend to have relationships with admissions officers in many colleges, which again gives them insight into what works and which college is focused on what aspect of the application.

Unfortunately, in many schools the guidance counselor tends to be way overextended. If your ratio is 300 students to 1 college counselor, you're unlikely to get that person's undivided attention and focus. It is still useful to ask them for general advice about your potential topics, but don't expect them to be able to stay with your essay from first draft to final version.

Friends, Siblings, or Classmates

Although they most likely don't have much experience with what colleges are hoping to see, your peers are excellent sources for checking that your essay is you .

Friends and siblings are perfect for the read-aloud edit. Read your essay to them so they can listen for words and phrases that are stilted, pompous, or phrases that just don't sound like you.

You can even trade essays and give helpful advice on each other's work.

If your editor hasn't worked with college admissions essays very much, no worries! Any astute and attentive reader can still greatly help with your process. But, as in all things, beginners do better with some preparation.

First, your editor should read our advice about how to write a college essay introduction , how to spot and fix a bad college essay , and get a sense of what other students have written by going through some admissions essays that worked .

Then, as they read your essay, they can work through the following series of questions that will help them to guide you.

Introduction Questions

• Is the first sentence a killer opening line? Why or why not?
• Does the introduction hook the reader? Does it have a colorful, detailed, and interesting narrative? Or does it propose a compelling or surprising idea?
• Can you feel the author's voice in the introduction, or is the tone dry, dull, or overly formal? Show the places where the voice comes through.

Essay Body Questions

• Does the essay have a through-line? Is it built around a central argument, thought, idea, or focus? Can you put this idea into your own words?
• How is the essay organized? By logical progression? Chronologically? Do you feel order when you read it, or are there moments where you are confused or lose the thread of the essay?
• Does the essay have both narratives about the author's life and explanations and insight into what these stories reveal about the author's character, personality, goals, or dreams? If not, which is missing?
• Does the essay flow? Are there smooth transitions/clever links between paragraphs? Between the narrative and moments of insight?

Reader Response Questions

• Does the writer's personality come through? Do we know what the speaker cares about? Do we get a sense of "who he or she is"?
• Where did you feel most connected to the essay? Which parts of the essay gave you a "you are there" sensation by invoking your senses? What moments could you picture in your head well?
• Where are the details and examples vague and not specific enough?
• Did you get an "a-ha!" feeling anywhere in the essay? Is there a moment of insight that connected all the dots for you? Is there a good reveal or "twist" anywhere in the essay?
• What are the strengths of this essay? What needs the most improvement?

Should You Pay Money for Essay Editing?

One alternative to asking someone you know to help you with your college essay is the paid editor route. There are two different ways to pay for essay help: a private essay coach or a less personal editing service , like the many proliferating on the internet.

My advice is to think of these options as a last resort rather than your go-to first choice. I'll first go through the reasons why. Then, if you do decide to go with a paid editor, I'll help you decide between a coach and a service.

When to Consider a Paid Editor

In general, I think hiring someone to work on your essay makes a lot of sense if none of the people I discussed above are a possibility for you.

If you can't ask your parents. For example, if your parents aren't good writers, or if English isn't their first language. Or if you think getting your parents to help is going create unnecessary extra conflict in your relationship with them (applying to college is stressful as it is!)

If you can't ask your teacher or tutor. Maybe you don't have a trusted teacher or tutor that has time to look over your essay with focus. Or, for instance, your favorite humanities teacher has very limited experience with college essays and so won't know what admissions officers want to see.

If you can't ask your guidance counselor. This could be because your guidance counselor is way overwhelmed with other students.

If you can't share your essay with those who know you. It might be that your essay is on a very personal topic that you're unwilling to share with parents, teachers, or peers. Just make sure it doesn't fall into one of the bad-idea topics in our article on bad college essays .

If the cost isn't a consideration. Many of these services are quite expensive, and private coaches even more so. If you have finite resources, I'd say that hiring an SAT or ACT tutor (whether it's PrepScholar or someone else) is better way to spend your money . This is because there's no guarantee that a slightly better essay will sufficiently elevate the rest of your application, but a significantly higher SAT score will definitely raise your applicant profile much more.

Should You Hire an Essay Coach?

On the plus side, essay coaches have read dozens or even hundreds of college essays, so they have experience with the format. Also, because you'll be working closely with a specific person, it's more personal than sending your essay to a service, which will know even less about you.

But, on the minus side, you'll still be bouncing ideas off of someone who doesn't know that much about you . In general, if you can adequately get the help from someone you know, there is no advantage to paying someone to help you.

If you do decide to hire a coach, ask your school counselor, or older students that have used the service for recommendations. If you can't afford the coach's fees, ask whether they can work on a sliding scale —many do. And finally, beware those who guarantee admission to your school of choice—essay coaches don't have any special magic that can back up those promises.

Should You Send Your Essay to a Service?

On the plus side, essay editing services provide a similar product to essay coaches, and they cost significantly less . If you have some assurance that you'll be working with a good editor, the lack of face-to-face interaction won't prevent great results.

On the minus side, however, it can be difficult to gauge the quality of the service before working with them . If they are churning through many application essays without getting to know the students they are helping, you could end up with an over-edited essay that sounds just like everyone else's. In the worst case scenario, an unscrupulous service could send you back a plagiarized essay.

Getting recommendations from friends or a school counselor for reputable services is key to avoiding heavy-handed editing that writes essays for you or does too much to change your essay. Including a badly-edited essay like this in your application could cause problems if there are inconsistencies. For example, in interviews it might be clear you didn't write the essay, or the skill of the essay might not be reflected in your schoolwork and test scores.

Should You Buy an Essay Written by Someone Else?

Let me elaborate. There are super sketchy places on the internet where you can simply buy a pre-written essay. Don't do this!

For one thing, you'll be lying on an official, signed document. All college applications make you sign a statement saying something like this:

I certify that all information submitted in the admission process—including the application, the personal essay, any supplements, and any other supporting materials—is my own work, factually true, and honestly presented... I understand that I may be subject to a range of possible disciplinary actions, including admission revocation, expulsion, or revocation of course credit, grades, and degree, should the information I have certified be false. (From the Common Application )

For another thing, if your academic record doesn't match the essay's quality, the admissions officer will start thinking your whole application is riddled with lies.

Admission officers have full access to your writing portion of the SAT or ACT so that they can compare work that was done in proctored conditions with that done at home. They can tell if these were written by different people. Not only that, but there are now a number of search engines that faculty and admission officers can use to see if an essay contains strings of words that have appeared in other essays—you have no guarantee that the essay you bought wasn't also bought by 50 other students.

• You should get college essay help with both editing and proofreading
• A good editor will ask questions about your idea, logic, and structure, and will point out places where clarity is needed
• A good editor will absolutely not answer these questions, give you their own ideas, or write the essay or parts of the essay for you
• A good proofreader will find typos and check your formatting
• All of them agree that getting light editing and proofreading is necessary
• Parents, teachers, guidance or college counselor, and peers or siblings
• If you can't ask any of those, you can pay for college essay help, but watch out for services or coaches who over-edit you work
• Don't buy a pre-written essay! Colleges can tell, and it'll make your whole application sound false.

1. The Rising Trend of Pay Someone to Write Essay: 

In today’s academic landscape, a growing trend among students is the decision to pay someone to write essays. So, it is crucial to understand the reasons behind this emerging trend and its potential ethical concerns and consequences. 

Increasing Academic Pressure  

Students face an ever-increasing amount of academic pressure. They have to deal with demanding coursework, tight deadlines, and high expectations from professors. This overwhelming workload often leaves them with limited time and energy to complete all their assignments effectively. 

Limited Time and Multiple Responsibilities  

Nowadays, students have numerous responsibilities beyond academics, such as part-time jobs, extracurricular activities, and personal commitments. Balancing all these responsibilities while meeting essay deadlines can be extremely challenging. 

Lack of Confidence in Writing Skills  

Not all students possess the same level of confidence and proficiency in writing. Many students struggle with expressing their thoughts coherently or following the conventions of academic writing. As a result, students seek expert help in writing an essay to meet the required standards. 

2. Advantages of Pay Someone to Write Essay: 

When you pay someone to write your essays, you gain access to a range of advantages that can greatly benefit your academic journey. Let’s explore the benefits of seeking expert help in writing an essay: 

Access to Expert Academic Writers  

When you pay someone to write essays, you gain access to a pool of experienced writers. These writers possess subject knowledge and are well-versed in academic writing standards. They understand the intricacies of your field of study and can produce high-quality essays that demonstrate their expertise. 

They are proficient in adhering to the specific requirements of academic writing. This includes proper formatting, citation styles, and referencing. Whether you need an APA, MLA, or Chicago-style essay, these writers are familiar with the various citation formats. They ensure that your essay meets the required standards. 

Time-Saving and Reduced Stress  

One of the significant advantages of seeking “do my essay” services is its time-saving aspect. You can free up valuable time to invest in other important tasks by delegating your essay to experts. Instead of struggling with essay writing, you can focus on studying for exams, engaging in extracurricular activities, or spending quality time with family and friends. This allows you to effectively manage your workload and prioritize your commitments while ensuring that skilled writers expertly handle your essays. 

Additionally, when you pay someone to write your essay, it helps you to reduce your stress levels.  The pressure of delivering high-quality work within the restricted deadline can be overwhelming. By entrusting the task to experts and choosing to pay someone to write my essay , you can alleviate this stress and experience. It could help you academically without sacrificing your mental health from the harms of stress and anxiety. 

Customization and Personalized Approach  

When you opt to do my essay services, you can expect a personalized approach that caters to your specific requirements. The writers tailor the essays based on your guidelines and instructions, ensuring the paper aligns perfectly with your expectations.

4. Responsible Use of Write My Essay Services:  

Write my essay services have become increasingly popular among students, offering valuable support in their academic writing journey. However, students must use these services responsibly, intending to enhance their learning experience rather than using them to avoid homework.

It is essential to recognize that these services are meant to provide support, guidance, and additional resources to aid in academic growth rather than hinder the process of learning. In this section, we will explore how students can responsibly utilize essay writing services to their advantage. 

Utilizing Essays as Study Aids  

Seeking expert help to do my essay enables students to utilize essays as valuable study aids. These meticulously crafted essays provide valuable insights into proper essay structure, formatting and aid in comprehending the flow of ideas.

Through carefully analyzing these essays, students can broaden their writing repertoire, develop their unique voices, and acquire diverse writing techniques.

This process enhances their writing skills and ultimately improves their academic performance.

Write my essay help enable students to develop their writing ability that helps them to produce impressive work consistently. 

Taking Ownership and Responsibility  

While academic writing support offers benefits, students must take ownership and responsibility for their work. Instead of solely relying on provided essays, they should engage actively, examining ideas and arguments to deepen their understanding and conduct further research.

Taking responsibility means revising and editing essays to align with their perspectives and showcasing a commitment to growth and originality. Moreover, these writings can serve as additional research. Students demonstrate a commitment to do thorough research and credibility by incorporating reputable sources when they take ownership of their tasks and accept the responsibility to do their essays better. This approach fosters academic growth and enhances the quality of their work. 

5. Balancing Ethics and Personal Circumstances:  

In academic writing, students often find themselves confronted with the task of integrating ethics and their circumstances. It can be a delicate balancing act to uphold ethical standards while considering their unique needs and situations.

This discussion aims to guide students, like you, in navigating this equilibrium successfully. By finding the right balance, you can ensure academic integrity while effectively addressing the specific challenges and circumstances that shape your academic journey.

Understanding Ethical Guidelines  

Understanding the guidelines and principles that govern academic integrity is crucial to navigating the ethical dimensions of academic writing. Familiarize yourself with academic policies and codes of conduct related to plagiarism, citation, and research ethics. Adhering to these standards demonstrates your commitment to academic integrity and ethical writing practices. 

Considering Personal Circumstances  

While upholding ethics is essential, it is equally important to consider your circumstances when engaging in academic writing. Recognize that each student’s situation is unique, with factors such as time constraints, workload, and personal obligations playing a significant role.

Assess your circumstances and establish realistic goals and expectations for yourself. By balancing your academic responsibilities and personal circumstances, you can avoid unnecessary stress and ensure a more positive academic experience. 

6. Developing Writing Skills and Confidence  

Developing strong writing skills and confidence is a continuous process that requires dedication and practice. This section will explore effective strategies for students to enhance their writing abilities and build confidence in their academic work. 

7. Seeking Opportunities for Improvement and Utilizing Feedback for Growth  

To enhance their writing skills, students can actively seek opportunities for improvement. Participating in writing workshops or courses provides structured learning environments and expert guidance. These sessions cover grammar, style, and argumentation, allowing students to develop a solid foundation. 

Engaging in peer review and feedback sessions is another valuable route for improvement. Students gain various perspectives and refine their writing skills by exchanging written work with peers and providing constructive feedback. This collaborative approach exposes them to different styles and techniques, enhancing their proficiency. 

Additionally, independent writing practice is crucial. Students can apply acquired knowledge and techniques by dedicating regular time to writing independently, refining their style, strengthening arguments, and developing fluency. 

For additional support, students can opt for “write my essay” services that offer professional assistance tailored to their needs. These services provide valuable insights, feedback, and guidance, fostering continuous improvement in writing skills. 

Utilizing feedback and constructive criticism is essential for growth. Students should embrace feedback as a learning opportunity rather than a personal attack. Constructive criticism helps identify areas for improvement and guides the enhancement of their writing. By carefully considering feedback, students can pinpoint weaknesses and work on them deliberately, instilling confidence in their ability to produce high-quality work. 

Building confidence through continuous practice is vital for long-term success. Students’ self-assurance grows as they apply feedback, refine their writing skills, and witness their progress. It also empowers them to tackle future academic challenges positively, knowing they can seek professional help or rely on their capabilities as writers.

Are Essay Writing Services Legit?

• 5-minute read
• 3rd June 2022

Believe it or not, there are many companies, operating within the law, that write essays for students. This means you can pay someone to write your essay and then submit it to your tutor as your own work.

If that sounds like cheating to you, we wouldn’t disagree! So, how do companies offering essay writing services get away with it? And is it ever okay to use them? Read on to find out.

What is an Essay Mill?

An essay mill is a company that makes money by writing essays and other academic work for students. After providing little more than the title and required word count, clients can sit back and wait for their essay, assignment, or even 40,000-word dissertation, complete with a reference list, to drop into their inbox.

Essay mills use freelance writers, and the copy they produce becomes the property of the customer. They claim to write each assignment from scratch and usually run plagiarism checks as part of their service.

The Downsides of Essay Writing Services

The obvious advantage of using an essay writing service is that it saves you time and effort. So, if you can afford to pay someone else to do your homework, what’s not to like? Here are a few things worth considering before handing over your cash to an essay mill:

●  The writer is unlikely to be an expert in your subject: Essay mills and other companies offering writing services use freelancers. It’s therefore highly unlikely that they will have an expert in every academic field at their disposal. Even if they claim that your essay will be written by an expert, you won’t get to see the writer’s credentials, so you only have their word for it.

●  There’s no guarantee you’ll get a good grade: So, your essay is being produced by a writer who most likely isn’t an expert on the relevant topic. Because they’re a freelancer, they’ll only be getting a percentage of the fee you’ve paid, and they’ve not only got to write your essay, but research it, too. Unless they’re willing to work for a very low hourly rate, they won’t spend enough time on your essay to produce work that’s good enough to score high marks.

●  You could easily get caught: If your tutor is familiar with your usual style of writing, they might be suspicious when you hand in work written by someone else. What if they want you to clarify something or they query one of your references? If you’re caught cheating, it could spell the end of your academic ambitions.

●  It’s dishonest: You’ve probably worked out by now that we don’t approve of essay writing services! Whether or not they are legal (and we’ll cover that in the next section), they certainly aren’t ethical. And it’s a form of cheating, which is taken very seriously by academic institutions.

Find this useful?

Subscribe to our newsletter and get writing tips from our editors straight to your inbox.

●  You’ll miss out on learning opportunities: The whole point of an essay writing assignment is to learn valuable information about a topic. By handing that experience off to someone else, you’re essentially giving up part of the education that you’ve worked hard to qualify for (and are likely paying good money for)!

What Does the Law Say About Essay Writing Services?

The law regarding essay writing services varies from country to country (and from state to state in the US), so whether you’d be breaking the law by using them depends on where you’re studying.

At the moment, essay mills are still legal in most of the US and Canada. However, in some states, it’s illegal for students to use them. In the UK, legislation was passed in April 2022 that makes it a criminal offense to provide essay writing services. And similar laws exist in Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

Summary: Are Essay Writing Services Legit?

Essay writing services are still legal in some areas, so the question of whether or not you should use them is largely an ethical one. However, even if you’re not committing a crime by paying someone to write your essay, you could get into trouble with your college if anyone finds out.

Unfortunately, essay mills often target international students who may lack confidence in their English writing skills. But, instead of getting someone else to write your essay for you, which is a form of cheating, why not consider just getting help with proofreading? While any tutor would disapprove of handing in someone else’s work, it is perfectly legitimate to have your own words professionally proofread before you submit them.

Our proofreading service includes correcting any errors in spelling, grammar, and punctuation. In addition, we adapt any unsuitable vocabulary and highlight anything that’s unclear. However, we never make changes that would alter the meaning of what you’ve written. It’s your writing—we just help you make it shine!

You can try our student proofreading service for free by submitting a trial document today. You’ll get it back, error-free, tomorrow!

The writer has followed my specific instructions and was able to provide the paper earlier than the deadline. The writer is very communicative and answers all your concerns. Highly recommend.

Goes above and beyond. He completed the assignment ahead of schedule and the work was exceptional.

The best writer here, always on time. Very proactive to read your assigment first for corrections, if they are needed he do that inmediatelly. If you want to have good grades or you are in trouble and need to pass a class this is your writer.

Impressive writer. Paid attention to detail, was very conscientious and timely, and adequately integrated theory and empirical evidence in his writing.

This writer continues to provide quality work, he is thorough, diligent, and communicates timely. Hire him, I have hired him again and will continue to only use him. Best writer on this site in my experience.

Frank has been the MOST helpful writer on this site and you would be making an incredible mistake if you do NOT hire him. His prices have been the MOST reasonable, and he communicates timely and effectively. I appreciate you, Frank. If I could give you 20 stars I would. Folks, Frank is your guy trust me. I tried maybe 5 others and Frank is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am beyond eager to write this review for this writer. I will shout to the rooftops ENCOURAGING you to hire him. I have used other writers but NONE have delivered such awesome work as this writer and NONE of their prices can compare to his. He does not try to "break the bank" and he works hard. He is simply,THE BEST HERE!!!

There were too many writers to have to sort through, would be nice if I was able to sort by how many medical/health science paper they have written.

SO far everything seems to be professional, this is my first time using this kind of online service to get an assignment done.

This service is very easy and efficient. When you are overloaded with tasks, you're up to your ears in paperwork, this is the best help!

Easy to use the website, have people bid for your paper which is cool, cause you can pick who you want, you get options

Being able to see the finished product prior to making the full payment is what made me choose this site. Great idea!

I'm new to this but so far the communication with the tutors has been awesome.

Super well thought out, I wish there was more information on the delivery of the work/essay when finished, but overall I'm happy.

Even though I wrote a similar paper once last year, I already forgot how to do this analysis and understand that it will take too much time to reread the theory and then write the paper based on it. Thanks for making my life easier!

Yesterday I felt so sick that I was lying in bed doing nothing. I was not able to read, analyze, or say, write something. So I turned on the PC ordered the paper on this website. Thanks a lot!

I am very happy with the services they provide, excellent work. In a timely manner, I received 100 for my essay. Since I am always busy working they come through when I do not have time to finish.

The reaction paper was written, bearing in mind all the necessary structural elements of the essay. I am happy the writer used quite complex vocabulary, so the essays sounds persuasive.

I am very happy with the services they provide, excellent work. Since I am always busy working they come through when I do not have time to finish.

Great company to work with they get the job done one time and correct.

I would like to thank your marketing assignment expert for editing my assignment so well. It’s completely error-free now.

So caring about what I expect, offered revision in case it's not what i needed. Everything was good

It was my first time using such a service. Essay was good and nicely formatted.

Now I received my paper and you know, I’m amazed! I recommend them.

They are really good in services as their name in the market. Superb, outstanding and marvelous

Your experts helped me to better understand the task I couldn't complete for a long time! Thanks!

Best College Application Essay Services in 2024

#1 – prepmaven.

Our Verdict — Best College Essay Assistance Overall Price: $79–349/hour (minimum $510 package) PrepMaven’s one-on-one college essay assistance is the best option overall. Founded by brothers and Princeton grads Greg and Kevin, almost all of PrepMaven’s essay coaches have Ivy-League experience, primarily from Princeton and Harvard. All essay coaches also undergo a thorough training program in PrepMaven’s methods, developed by professional writers with deep understanding of the college admissions process, for helping students to discover the most compelling stories for their essays. Unlike other services, PrepMaven offers college essay assistance at several different price points. At the most accessible rate, students can work with current Ivy-League undergraduates who specialize in writing and have recently aced the college application process. At higher rates, students can work with coaches who are both Ivy-League grads and professional writers (screenwriters, journalists, editors) with many years of experience helping students to craft compelling essays. Interested students can even work directly with founders Greg and Kevin, who have over 15 years of experience helping students through the entire essay-writing process. PrepMaven’s services combine many of the best features of other good options into one, and it’s hard to beat their experience.

Sign up for PrepMaven’s college essay help now

Any student wanting college essay help, at any point in the process, with a range of budgets.

At a glance:

• Cost: $79–349/hour (minimum $510 package)
• Writing coach qualifications: Princeton graduates and professional writers (or current Princeton students); all trained

What we like:

• Ivy League experience —most of their writing coaches are Princeton grads or current students, with some from Harvard and other Ivies
• Different pricing options to meet different families’ circumstances
• More flexible and greater capacity to take on new students compared to individual consultants

#2 – College Essay Mentor

Our Verdict — Best of the Individual Consultants Price: unknown but high Some college essay consulting services consist of just one expert. Of these individual essay consultants, Chris Hunt at College Essay Mentor is our favorite. He combines writing experience as a journalist for the Economist and the Wall Street Journal with personal experience as a graduate of Dartmouth. However, he only works with a small number of students each year, and students need to apply to work with him — he only accepts students with top grades and test scores who are already strong applicants for top schools. Chris offers the option for one-time written feedback, but this only gives big-picture generalizations. (And written-only feedback is always limited.) In order for help with the essay process, students need to purchase a complete essay package.

Students with top grades and test scores who want to work with a one-person business, who have a sizable budget, and who are ready to get started early.

• Cost: $210 for a one-time written essay feedback (big picture only), then $110 per draft feedback; pricing for essay process packages unknown
• Essay coach qualifications: professional journalist, Dartmouth grad
• Professional writing experience as a journalist
• Extensive experience working with college applicants
• Partners with Debra Felix, former Director of Admissions at Columbia, for full application review

What we don’t like:

• One-on-one work is limited to very high-achieving students, who need to apply with a resume : “I limit my one-on-one work to students who I believe will be strong applicants to elite universities. As a rule, this means having high grades in challenging classes, a test score of ACT 34+ or SAT 1500+, and substantial activities outside of the classroom.”
• Works with a limited number of students (60 per year), so often no availability
• All-or-nothing packages don’t allow students to work with Chris for just a few hours or for part of the essay-writing process
• Secretive about pricing (he’ll only give pricing details once he’s reviewed the student’s resume and agreed to work with them), but we expect the minimum cost of working one-on-one to be several thousand dollars

#3 – The College Essay Guy

Our Verdict — Best for Unlimited Essay Assistance Price: $4900 for application to 3 schools, $8050 for application for 10 schools We’re fans of Ethan Sawyer, the original “college essay guy”— his book, College Essay Essentials , is a great guide to the essay-writing process. Ethan doesn’t work directly with many students these days, but he now has a team of consultants who help students follow his principles. Their assistance is really all-or-nothing — they prefer to work with students from the very beginning of the process, and their minimum package is $4900, which includes assistance with essays for three schools. If students are applying to ten schools (a more realistic number for students aiming at competitive colleges), the fee is a hefty $7400.

Students who want unlimited help through the entire process, who have a sizable budget.

• Cost: $4900 (supplemental essays for 3 schools) – $7400 (supplemental essays for 10 schools)
• Essay coach qualifications: mix of Ivy grads and former teachers, some writers/screenwriters; all trained
• Great free resources about the essay-writing process
• Their Matchlighters Scholars Program gives back to the community by providing admissions consulting for select qualifying students
• All-or-nothing packages have a high minimum fee and don’t work for students who want just a few hours of feedback or help with just part of the process

#4 – College Vine

Our Verdict — Best of the Big Platforms Price: $140–180/hour There are plenty of large platforms with large stables of part-time tutors and coaches available to work with students. Of these big platforms, we think CollegeVine has the best offerings. Compared to other large companies, CollegeVine provides more information about their tutors, and students can pick individual tutors to work with from their roster. However, this model is really just a way of finding individual tutors to hire. Tutors don’t receive any training and don’t share a common approach, so it’s a mixed bag. Their rates are fairly high for part-time tutors who don’t have specific expertise and training in college essay consulting. Because CollegeVine is really just a marketplace where individual tutors can find students, the quality and price will vary widely.

Students who want to work with a big company, or those who want a quick session or two to go over their essays.

• Cost: Typically $140–180/hour
• Essay coach qualifications: no specific qualifications, but a few are Ivy League graduates
• Possible to select individual editors to work with from their roster.
• Easy to schedule ad-hoc sessions with a tutor through the website.
• No training or common approach for tutors
• Editors are part-time , with no option to work with full-time college admissions experts
• Relatively expensive for this level of expertise

College Essay Editing Alternatives (that Didn’t Make the Cut)

Individual essay consultants, #5 – college essay editor.

Our Verdict — Small Editing Team Price: Roughly $5,950 for applications to 10 schools College Essay Editor comprises two graduates of Stanford. This means that they have personal experience applying to highly competitive schools. One member of the team also has a college counseling certification, which is a good background for college essays. Based on their website, they appear to focus on the editing and proofreading phase of the essay-writing process. This can be helpful to students, but we recommend working with a service who can help students to uncover their values and brainstorm really great material that allows them to really shine—and if this doesn’t happen at the beginning of the process, it’s much harder to add in later on.

• Cost: $195/1000 words for proofreading, $495/1000 words for 3 rounds of editing and proofreading, or $595/1000 words for unlimited rounds of editing and proofreading; for the purposes of comparison, complete applications to 10 competitive colleges would be around 9,650 words, or $5950.
• Writing coach qualifications: Stanford graduates, one of whom has college counseling certification
• Editors are graduates of Stanford University , and one is a member of NACAC, the national association of college counselors
• They focus on editing and proofreading only , not on the crucial earlier steps of brainstorming and strategy
• Small team with very limited availability
• All asynchronous editing so you won’t be able to cultivate a real relationship with your essay coach.

#6 – Allison Karpf

Our Verdict — Former English Teacher Helping Students Price: $385/hour or $3850 package for application to one school Another option for students looking to hire an individual consultant is Allison Karpf. Allison is a former high school English teacher and a graduate of UC Berkeley who also holds a Masters of Education from Stanford. Her rates are definitely on the higher side, especially for someone who doesn’t have a professional writing background, but she does have extensive experience working with students to craft their essays.

• Cost:  $385/hour or $3850 unlimited counseling (includes supplemental essays for one college)
• Essay coach qualifications: former high school English teacher; Berkeley grad, Stanford MEd
• Lots of experience helping students improve their college essays
• Very quick to respond to client requests
• No professional writing experience or Ivy-Plus undergraduate experience
• High rates relative to other options
• Limited availability , since she works alone

#7 – Your College Vision

Our Verdict: Former Journalist with More Affordable Rates Price: $180/hour, or packages starting from $3500 Laurie Lande is another individual consultant who helps students through the essay-writing process. She comes recommended by other consultants like Chris from College Essay Mentor . Laurie did not herself attend a highly competitive school, so she doesn’t have that personal experience of going through the selective admissions process, but she does have a professional writing background as a journalist for the Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong.

• Cost: $180/hour or packages starting at $3500
• Essay coach qualifications: journalism background
• Affordable pricing , relative to other options
• Not a graduate of a highly selective school

#8 – The College Guru

Our Verdict — Good on Paper but Unresponsive Price: unknown Yet another individual essay consultant is Geanine Thompson from The College Guru. Geanine attended Dartmouth as an undergraduate and also holds an MBA from Duke. She also has a professional writing background as an assistant book editor at Berkley Publishing Group. Like Greg and Kevin at PrepMaven , she combines experience in the business world and at Wall Street firms with experience in education.

• Cost: unknown
• Essay coach qualifications: former assistant book editor; Dartmouth grad, Duke MBA
• Dartmouth graduate and former book editor
• Not responsive to emails and client requests

#9 – Sofia Zapiola

Our Verdict — A budget-friendly, personal essay editor. Price: $80/hour Yet another individual essay consultant is Sofia Zapiola, who offers a mix of essay editing and college application counseling services.

• Cost: $80/hour
• Essay coach qualifications: M.A. from Harvard; certificate in College Counseling from UC San Diego.
• Individual approach, budget-friendly rates, commitment to working within families’ budgets.
• Very few testimonials, so it’s difficult to evaluate how effective she is.

Mid-size Teams

#10 – lotus learning.

Our Verdict — Expensive for Tutor Background Price: $165/hour Founded by a Harvard grad who is a former teacher and veteran of the publishing industry, Lotus learning offers college essay help in the Boston area. They have a small team of tutors, mostly recent grads from good but not Ivy-Plus colleges, and mostly with focus in health sciences.

• Cost: $165/hour (minimum 8 hours)
• Essay coach qualifications: tutors are recent grads, but not Ivy-Plus schools
• Reasonable pricing with flexible packages
• Essay editors aren’t graduates of Ivy-Plus schools and don’t have professional writing experience

Large platforms

#11 – study point.

Our Verdict — Larger Platform with Mystery Editors Price: Rates Between $60 and $120/hr Study Point is a larger essay editing service. They claim to have several decades of experience helping students to craft their college essays, but they do not give information about who their essay coaches are and what qualifications they might have.

• Cost: $60-120/hr, depending on tutor experience
• Essay coach qualifications: unknown
• Larger company with several decades of experience
• Unclear who the essay coaches are
• Lack of statistics about their results

#12 – Ivy Select

Our Verdict — Larger Platform with Mystery Editors Price: unknown Ivy Select makes a lot of big promises on their website about having the best college essay consultants in the business, but they offer no information on who these consultants are, or on their backgrounds. They also brag that each consultant “only” works 20 students in one application cycle, but in our experience, that’s quite high.

• Long list of impressive (but anonymous) testimonials
• Only work with “top students”
• No information on their website about who the editors are
• Each essay coach works with up to 20 students at one time

#13 – Empowerly

Our Verdict — Larger Platform with Mystery Editors Price: High, from $6000/year Empowerly has over 60 college counselors who each work with an average of 5 students per year, in order to have more time to devote to each student. Their counselors come from “different educational backgrounds,” and while they do not provide specific biographical details we can assume that most of their essay coaches did not attend highly selective schools.

• Cost: typically from $6000/year
• Essay coach qualifications: college counselors
• Counselors work with just a few students per year
• You have to upgrade to “Empowerly Elite” to guarantee a counselor with a more selective educational background
• No professional writing experience

#14 – Prepory

Our Verdict — Expensive but with Good Expertise Price: $325/hr Prepory is a college application and career counseling service that offers a comprehensive program for college applications at any stage of the process (including as early as 9th grade). They make a lot of impressive claims about the expertise of their coaches, but it’s quite difficult to actual find much information about their essay coach qualifications.

• Cost: $325/hr
• They have a comprehensive college application program that begins as early as 9th grade.
• Limited information about essay coaches
• High prices

Admissions officers can tell when essays have been written or edited by adults and this can have severe consequences. We have excluded these services from our reviews.

Why are college application essays important?

Can a great college essay alone get you into Harvard?

No. You’ll need your grades, test scores, and extracurricular activities (as well as letters of recommendation and interview) to be outstanding.

But can a mediocre essay be the reason you didn’t get into Harvard?

Yes. There are thousands of amazingly-qualified students who graduate from high school each year. Great grades and test scores might be a prerequisite for admission to a competitive college, but they alone aren’t enough.

College essays are a key component of a student’s application . When done well, they transform a collection of numbers—GPA, class rank, SAT or ACT scores , number of AP classes taken, AP scores—into a glimpse of a real, individual person.

Essays do many things. Good college essays can highlight extracurricular achievements which otherwise would be overlooked in a sterile list. Strong essays often indicate the student’s future plans —how they plan to leave a mark on their college campus and on the world. They can shine a light on unique challenges that a student may have had to face on their journey.

College admissions officers only have a few minutes to spend on each application. College essays need to be original, interesting, and memorable . They need to grab the attention of the admissions officer and persuade them that this is the student out of hundreds or thousands of other similarly-qualified applicants who should be admitted.

College admissions essays are usually unlike any other kind of writing that students have done before. They’re a combination of memoir and marketing pitch, and they need to be creative but also highly strategic. That’s a tough assignment!

What’s more, students are left to figure this assignment out on their own. A thoughtful and generous high school English teacher may provide guidance or offer to read essays and give feedback, but these teachers are responsible for many students, and they’re (usually) not experts in admissions strategies.

There’s another reason college essays are especially important from 2024 on. After the recent Supreme Court decision, the application essay has become one of the main ways that you can communicate how your racial identity has affected your life.

In fact, the New York Times published an article about how important it can be for students to discuss race in their college application essays!

Why work with a college essay service?

You may want to consider a college essay service if:

• You have no idea where to start in order to write your college application essays
• You feel overwhelmed by all of the different ideas you have and don’t know what would be the most strategic for college admissions—and what topics to definitely avoid for college essays
• You don’t know how to craft a compelling stor y
• You’re not sure how to edit and refine what you’ve written
• You have a hard time keeping yourself on track and want an external structure to hold you accountable
• You’re tired of conflict between students and parents about college essays
• You’re aiming at a competitive college (not just the Ivy League!) and know that you need your essays to be outstanding
• Your grades, test scores, and extracurriculars aren’t exceptional, so you need your essay to make your essay stand out from the pack
• You’re unfamiliar with the US college admissions process (a common situation for international students and first-generation families in the US)

Any of these are strong reasons to consider working with a college essay service!

It’s also worth remembering that a lot of the free advice on college’s website isn’t always very clear. For example, NYU’s admissions Senior Assistant Director of Admissions says that “There is no right or wrong way to answer as long as your answer is genuine to you.”

While that’s true, that doesn’t offer much guidance on how to actually write the essay!

Though many college applicants might not mention it, more and more students are using professional college application consultants. Research at the University of Chicago has shown that over a quarter of high-achieving seniors employed private specialists to help with the college application process.

In fact, according to NPR , some companies are even offering college admissions counseling to their top employees as an incentive–that’s just how important professional help can be in the current landscape of college admissions.

It’s important to note that a good college essay service will not write your college application essays for you . This is unethical and illegal. That’s not just coming from us: take it from a school like Princeton, whose website insists on the importance of writing your own application essays.

A good college essay service will guide you through each step of the process , teaching you how to self-reflect and write well while sharing insider insight about admissions strategy .

What makes a good college essay service?

We strongly believe that students need to write their own college essays , and we do not condone plagiarism or “buying” a college essay.

However, writing college application essays requires a completely new set of skills that is rarely taught in high school!

Writing a personal essay is much more creative than simply writing a good paper for English class. It requires a compelling narrative and a great deal of writing craft . A good essay service will teach how to do this kind of writing.

There are many college essay services that will provide only written feedback to students, usually in the form of comments added to an essay draft. (Remember, it’s important that students write their own essays, so avoid any college essay service that will make edits directly to an essay document .)

Written comments can be an effective component of good essay coaching. However, writing college essays is a deeply personal process , and it’s incredibly difficult to guide a student through the process of self-reflection, brainstorming, and planning purely through written comments.

In addition, a great college essay coach will teach students how to do this entire process of brainstorming, planning, outlining, writing, and revising . It’s difficult to learn why an essay coach is advising certain changes through written comments alone.

For these reasons, look for a college essay service with live, one-on-one services , not just written feedback. These days, it’s easy to work with the best college essay consultants in the country over Zoom!

Students need to reflect on their goals, their passions, and what drives them to be the person they are. This requires a great deal of self-awareness and self-analysis . An experienced college essay coach can help draw these ideas out of students through tested introspection techniques and brainstorming exercises .

On top of all of that, students need to be cognizant of which traits and accomplishments will be most appealing to colleges , and which stories will be cliche and boring. Personal statements and supplementary essays need to fit together to tell a cohesive story, and they need to work together with the rest of the student’s application (extracurriculars, grades, and other accomplishments).

In other words, there’s a great deal of strategy here! An experienced college essay service can help students decide how to present themselves in the best possible light .

Furthermore, most students don’t know how to edit effectively . A really top-notch college essay service will also teach students how to edit their own writing —how to reorder sections for better flow, cut unnecessary words to meet a word count, eliminate passive verbs, and make their writing vivid and exciting. Our students are routinely amazed by how transformative this step can be, and how much they learn by doing it together with the essay coach.

Finally, the best college essay services can also help students to make a writing plan and keep them on track , so that parents don’t have to be involved directly.

Buying College Essays Is Now Easier Than Ever. But Buyer Beware

Tovia Smith

Concern is growing about a burgeoning online market for essays that students can buy and turn in as their own work. And schools are trying new tools to catch it. Angela Hsieh/NPR hide caption

Concern is growing about a burgeoning online market for essays that students can buy and turn in as their own work. And schools are trying new tools to catch it.

As the recent college admissions scandal is shedding light on how parents are cheating and bribing their children's way into college, schools are also focusing on how some students may be cheating their way through college. Concern is growing about a burgeoning online market that makes it easier than ever for students to buy essays written by others to turn in as their own work. And schools are trying new tools to catch it.

It's not hard to understand the temptation for students. The pressure is enormous, the stakes are high and, for some, writing at a college level is a huge leap.

"We didn't really have a format to follow, so I was kind of lost on what to do," says one college freshman, who struggled recently with an English assignment. One night, when she was feeling particularly overwhelmed, she tweeted her frustration.

"It was like, 'Someone, please help me write my essay!' " she recalls. She ended her tweet with a crying emoji. Within a few minutes, she had a half-dozen offers of help.

"I can write it for you," they tweeted back. "Send us the prompt!"

The student, who asked that her name not be used for fear of repercussions at school, chose one that asked for $10 per page, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"For me, it was just that the work was piling up," she explains. "As soon as I finish some big assignment, I get assigned more things, more homework for math, more homework for English. Some papers have to be six or 10 pages long. ... And even though I do my best to manage, the deadlines come closer and closer, and it's just ... the pressure."

In the cat-and-mouse game of academic cheating, students these days know that if they plagiarize, they're likely to get caught by computer programs that automatically compare essays against a massive database of other writings. So now, buying an original essay can seem like a good workaround.

"Technically, I don't think it's cheating," the student says. "Because you're paying someone to write an essay, which they don't plagiarize, and they write everything on their own."

Her logic, of course, ignores the question of whether she's plagiarizing. When pressed, she begins to stammer.

"That's just a difficult question to answer," she says. "I don't know how to feel about that. It's kind of like a gray area. It's maybe on the edge, kind of?"

Besides she adds, she probably won't use all of it.

Other students justify essay buying as the only way to keep up. They figure that everyone is doing it one way or another — whether they're purchasing help online or getting it from family or friends.

"Oh yeah, collaboration at its finest," cracks Boston University freshman Grace Saathoff. While she says she would never do it herself, she's not really fazed by others doing it. She agrees with her friends that it has pretty much become socially acceptable.

"I have a friend who writes essays and sells them," says Danielle Delafuente, another Boston University freshman. "And my other friend buys them. He's just like, 'I can't handle it. I have five papers at once. I need her to do two of them, and I'll do the other three.' It's a time management thing."

The war on contract cheating

"It breaks my heart that this is where we're at," sighs Ashley Finley, senior adviser to the president for the Association of American Colleges and Universities. She says campuses are abuzz about how to curb the rise in what they call contract cheating. Obviously, students buying essays is not new, but Finley says that what used to be mostly limited to small-scale side hustles has mushroomed on the internet to become a global industry of so-called essay mills. Hard numbers are difficult to come by, but research suggests that up to 16 percent of students have paid someone to do their work and that the number is rising.

"Definitely, this is really getting more and more serious," Finley says. "It's part of the brave new world for sure."

The essay mills market aggressively online, with slickly produced videos inviting students to "Get instant help with your assignment" and imploring them: "Don't lag behind," "Join the majority" and "Don't worry, be happy."

"They're very crafty," says Tricia Bertram Gallant, director of the Academic Integrity Office at the University of California in San Diego and a board member of the International Center for Academic Integrity.

The companies are equally brazen offline — leafleting on campuses, posting flyers in toilet stalls and flying banners over Florida beaches during spring break. Companies have also been known to bait students with emails that look like they're from official college help centers. And they pay social media influencers to sing the praises of their services, and they post testimonials from people they say are happy customers.

"I hired a service to write my paper and I got a 90 on it!" gloats one. "Save your time, and have extra time to party!" advises another.

"It's very much a seduction," says Bertram Gallant. "So you can maybe see why students could get drawn into the contract cheating world."

YouTube has been cracking down on essay mills; it says it has pulled thousands of videos that violate its policies against promoting dishonest behavior.

But new videos constantly pop up, and their hard sell flies in the face of their small-print warnings that their essays should be used only as a guide, not a final product.

Several essay mills declined or didn't respond to requests to be interviewed by NPR. But one answered questions by email and offered up one of its writers to explain her role in the company, called EduBirdie.

"Yes, just like the little birdie that's there to help you in your education," explains April Short, a former grade school teacher from Australia who's now based in Philadelphia. She has been writing for a year and a half for the company, which bills itself as a "professional essay writing service for students who can't even."

Some students just want some "foundational research" to get started or a little "polish" to finish up, Short says. But the idea that many others may be taking a paper written completely by her and turning it in as their own doesn't keep her up at night.

"These kids are so time poor," she says, and they're "missing out on opportunities of travel and internships because they're studying and writing papers." Relieving students of some of that burden, she figures, allows them to become more "well-rounded."

"I don't necessarily think that being able to create an essay is going to be a defining factor in a very long career, so it's not something that bothers me," says Short. Indeed, she thinks students who hire writers are demonstrating resourcefulness and creativity. "I actually applaud students that look for options to get the job done and get it done well," she says.

"This just shows you the extent of our ability to rationalize all kinds of bad things we do," sighs Dan Ariely, professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University. The rise in contract cheating is especially worrisome, he says, because when it comes to dishonest behavior, more begets more. As he puts it, it's not just about "a few bad apples."

Felicity Huffman And 12 Other Parents To Plead Guilty In College Cheating Scandal

"Instead, what we have is a lot ... of blemished apples, and we take our cues for our behavior from the social world around us," he says. "We know officially what is right and what's wrong. But really what's driving our behavior is what we see others around us doing" or, Ariely adds, what we perceive them to be doing. So even the proliferation of advertising for essays mills can have a pernicious effect, he says, by fueling the perception that "everyone's doing it."

A few nations have recently proposed or passed laws outlawing essay mills, and more than a dozen U.S. states have laws on the books against them. But prosecuting essay mills, which are often based overseas in Pakistan, Kenya and Ukraine, for example, is complicated. And most educators are loath to criminalize students' behavior.

"Yes, they're serious mistakes. They're egregious mistakes," says Cath Ellis, an associate dean and integrity officer at the University of New South Wales, where students were among the hundreds alleged to have bought essays in a massive scandal in Australia in 2014.

"But we're educational institutions," she adds. "We've got to give students the opportunity to learn from these mistakes. That's our responsibility. And that's better in our hands than in the hands of the police and the courts."

Staying one step ahead

In the war on contract cheating, some schools see new technology as their best weapon and their best shot to stay one step ahead of unscrupulous students. The company that makes the Turnitin plagiarism detection software has just upped its game with a new program called Authorship Investigate.

The software first inspects a document's metadata, like when it was created, by whom it was created and how many times it was reopened and re-edited. Turnitin's vice president for product management, Bill Loller, says sometimes it's as simple as looking at the document's name. Essay mills typically name their documents something like "Order Number 123," and students have been known to actually submit it that way. "You would be amazed at how frequently that happens," says Loller.

Using cutting-edge linguistic forensics, the software also evaluates the level of writing and its style.

"Think of it as a writing fingerprint," Loller says. The software looks at hundreds of telltale characteristics of an essay, like whether the author double spaces after a period or writes with Oxford commas or semicolons. It all gets instantly compared against a student's other work, and, Loller says, suspicions can be confirmed — or alleviated — in minutes.

"At the end of the day, you get to a really good determination on whether the student wrote what they submitted or not," he says, "and you get it really quickly."

Coventry University in the U.K. has been testing out a beta version of the software, and Irene Glendinning, the school's academic manager for student experience, agrees that the software has the potential to give schools a leg up on cheating students. After the software is officially adopted, "we'll see a spike in the number of cases we find, and we'll have a very hard few years," she says. "But then the message will get through to students that we've got the tools now to find these things out." Then, Glendinning hopes, students might consider contract cheating to be as risky as plagiarizing.

In the meantime, schools are trying to spread the word that buying essays is risky in other ways as well.

Professor Ariely says that when he posed as a student and ordered papers from several companies, much of it was "gibberish" and about a third of it was actually plagiarized.

Even worse, when he complained to the company and demanded his money back, they resorted to blackmail. Still believing him to be a student, the company threatened to tell his school he was cheating. Others say companies have also attempted to shake down students for more money, threatening to rat them out if they didn't pay up.

The lesson, Ariely says, is "buyer beware."

But ultimately, experts say, many desperate students may not be deterred by the risks — whether from shady businesses or from new technology.

Bertram Gallant, of UC San Diego, says the right way to dissuade students from buying essays is to remind them why it's wrong.

"If we engage in a technological arms race with the students, we won't win," she says. "What are we going to do when Google glasses start to look like regular glasses and a student wears them into an exam? Are we going to tell them they can't wear their glasses because we're afraid they might be sending the exam out to someone else who is sending them back the answers?"

The solution, Bertram Gallant says, has to be about "creating a culture where integrity and ethics matter" and where education is valued more than grades. Only then will students believe that cheating on essays is only cheating themselves.

When looking to get an essay written, the first thing that students tend to pay attention to is the price per page and then to all the other factors.

Naturally, in these reviews, we, therefore, look for comments regarding pricing policy.

Go on to read our notes about this service to see if paying someone to write your paper on this website is worth it:

Affordable Price

To pay someone to do your essays is best at an affordable price when you don’t have a lot of expendable income.

In researching this site, we’ve seen that the service authors offer a minimum price for paper of $9 with a maximum deadline.

As part of the service, the authors include custom formatting, create a title page for you, and make corrections for free.

That is to say, you can make whatever revisions you need to in your order without paying extra to the author.

Also, customers choose their authors themselves and can review various bids from potential authors before selecting one to work on their essays.

Online Chat with the Author

Paying someone to write an essay is best when there is an opportunity to personally discuss with the author any questions that might arise while you’re working with them.

“Individual approach” is what the company calls its method of collaboration with clients who come to them for help.

Students who decide to pay for essays with this service can contact their authors in real time and receive the necessary answers.

This way, students can have corrections made and ask for help with their topic and anything related to the writing of the paper.

The online chat feature is free, as are the other features we described.

Safety and Quality

It doesn’t matter what the quality of the writing help is if the writing service lacks a safe approach for students who decide to pay people to write an essay for them.

According to WritingCheap, their services are free and anonymous to every student who registers an order with them.

They guarantee security by closely monitoring the data and payment systems that their site uses. They also do not ask for unrelated personal information.

Their service also provides students with a plagiarism checker, which is absolutely free, to ensure that students receive absolutely original work.

College Reality Check

Can You Pay Someone to Write College Essay?

A college essay gives you the opportunity to let admissions officers know things about you that your high school GPA, test scores and class rank keep hidden from plain view. It allows you to share with them your unique life experiences and circumstances as well as the things you could potentially contribute to the college culture.

However, some people are simply so much better at writing essays, and some of them do it for a living, too.

College-bound teens can choose to utilize paid college essay services . Depending on the provider, it allows them to get their hands on original and professionally written essays. However, the submission of a paid essay may result in a well-deserved rejection or an acceptance letter that another applicant deserves.

Enticed to give an online essay-writing service a try?

In this post, I will discuss some of the most important matters you need to know about paying someone to write you your college essay. By the time you reach the end, hopefully, you will have an idea of the right thing to do.

What are the Pros and Cons of Paying for Your College Essay?

Perhaps no pros of paying for college essay is as noteworthy as being able to submit a high-quality application essay, provided, of course, that the service provider is one of the best in the industry. Meanwhile, the most striking cons include getting an acceptance letter the student doesn’t deserve and getting denied for being found out.

For most college-bound teens, the Common App essay is one of the things that make the college application process exhausting and nerve-racking for it takes a lot of time and energy.

Needless to say, it can also have an impact on one’s chances of getting admitted.

Fortunately for students who are bad at essay writing or have no time or motivation to write a good one, there are online essay writing services.

It goes without saying that, in exchange for a certain amount, it makes the process of applying to a college time- and energy-saving, especially when applying to several different institutions.

But there are cons, too. And leading the list is the risk of submitting a poor quality or plagiarized essay, which could cost a student his or her getting an acceptance letter.

It’s also no secret that the internet is a playground for crooks — getting the service of a fraudulent service provider could result in you not getting an essay and your personal information stolen, too.

By the way, some applicants may decide to try to use AI to help them with writing samples .

Are College Essay Writing Companies Legal?

Most essay writing services operating on the internet are legal. This is especially true for those that provide high-quality work and do not offer plagiarized content and engage in other fraudulent activities. Although it’s not illegal for a student to pay to have his or her college essay written, it’s a totally questionable and dishonest move.

Depending on the country or state, online service providers that write essays may need to register like traditional businesses.

It goes without saying that hiring a licensed essay writing company on the web and paying for the work provided to you doesn’t break any law. But it’s a completely different thing when the resulting product is submitted to college admissions officers.

Here’s a suggestion: instead of hiring someone to write your college essay, consider writing your essay and having a professional on the web edit your work so that you can submit something that’s polished and error-free.

And if grammar isn’t your strongest suit, there are free grammar checkers on the web.

Is Online College Essay Writing Safe?

For as long as the provider is operating legally and does not steal personal information, it’s perfectly safe for a student to opt for an online college essay writing service. What’s at risk, however, is his or her admission chances as a result of a poorly written essay or the submission of plagiarized work, or an obviously paid essay.

There are many ways to check whether or not you can trust a particular essay writing company on the web.

Checking out customer reviews and comments on forum sites such as Reddit and Quora are some ways to determine if the service provider you are eyeing can be trusted.

But while it’s safe to conduct a transaction with an essay writer online, the same cannot be said about your college application.

For instance, submitting a plagiarized composition or something that college admissions officers have already come across before is very much likely to result in you getting denied even if you have an impressive GPA or test scores.

Is Paying Someone to Write Your College Essay Ethical?

Technically speaking, it’s ethical for a student to pay someone to write his or her essay — in this sense, what’s unethical is using the finished essay without paying. However, as far as the college applications process goes, it’s morally wrong and unwise and, depending on the service provider, could result in plagiarism.

Of course, a stellar college essay alone is unlikely to gain you admission to the selective college of your choosing. Various other academic factors such as your GPA and test scores tend to have the most weight in the review process.

But a spanking essay, needless to say, can make a strong application even stronger.

This is when the question of the virtue of paying someone to make you your college essay steps into the scene.

Would you be able to face yourself in the mirror with confidence and respect and be devoid of any guilt, knowing that you got in with the help of an application essay you didn’t write?

Would you be proud of the degree you will later on, earn as a result?

How Much Do Online College Essay Writing Services Cost?

On average, online essay-writing providers charge clients anywhere from $10 to $50 per page. The cost, however, can vary according to factors such as the length, difficulty level, degree of writing and deadline. As a general rule of thumb, the more challenging the college essay to write and the sooner it’s needed, the steeper the cost.

Before anything else, let’s get one thing straight: the cheaper the cost of an online essay writing service, the higher you should raise your eyebrows — as always, you may get what you pay for.

It goes without saying that some of the most reliable writers out there charge more than unreliable ones.

Whether cheap or expensive, always ask yourself if the amount of money you will shell out is worth the risk of getting rejected by your dream college for plagiarism and provision of false information or getting an offer to enroll knowing that the application essay you submitted was the brainchild of an anonymous person that you paid to do the task for you.

What’s the Process Like to Have Your College Essay Written?

Having a college essay written online typically starts with filling out a form. Providing details such as the length, degree of writing and, of course, topic is the most important part of the process. In some instances, students who pay for their essays may select a writer and choose from among a selection of add-ons.

Since there are many essay writing services online that charge peanuts, it’s easier now more than ever to have your college essay written by someone who makes a living dishing our written compositions.

Typically, it can take an essay writing service to complete the job in a couple of weeks.

Your college essay, however, may be ready sooner or later than the said time frame, depending on the length and difficulty level of the essay as well as how many commissioned projects the writer has and how fast he or she writes.

Be cautious of any service provider that promises to deliver the product in a matter of hours!

What Would Happen If a College Learned You Paid for Your Essay?

Upon the detection of a paid college essay, admissions officers may notify the applicant and give the right to appeal. If proven guilty, the student may be barred from applying to the same college for a specified length of time. In many instances, plagiarized essays could result in the failure of satisfying admissions requirements.

Admissions officers may or may not suspect that an essay was obtained via a paid writing service.

If the 650-word Common App essay, for instance, seems to be incoherent with short-answer essays and the rest of the college application, it may raise suspicions.

The same is true if another applicant submitted the same work, whether in the same admissions cycle or in a previous one.

So, in other words, paying to get your essay written is a risky move.

Especially if the essay is one of the most important academic factors in the admissions process at your chosen college, something that’s proven to be not written by you could cost you your chances of getting an offer to enroll.

So, Should You or Should You Not Pay for College Essay Writing?

While it’s true that many paid essay-writing companies on the internet are operating legally and availing their services isn’t breaking any law, having a professional essay writer compose your college essay is outright dishonesty and deception.

Paid essay writing is one of those things that just because you could doesn’t mean you should.

Getting an acceptance letter from your top-choice school could be the start of a wonderful college career and, ultimately, a prolific professional life.

Do you really want to start it with a lie in the form of a paid application essay?

Everything, in a sense, would be a lie from thereon — from your college degree to your job position.

We Respect The Rules of Academic Formatting

Our team knows that academic writing requires the writer to follow specific formatting conventions. This is why we only work with paper writers who are fully acquainted with such formatting rules. You may think, “I need to pay someone to write my paper.” If that’s the case and you are worried about formatting, you should order your research paper from us.

We know that professors are particularly strict about these formatting standards, so we consistently implement them. A well-written research paper can receive a low grade simply because it isn’t formatted correctly. That is why we make a point to follow all the academic writing rules, including formatting ones. We have a specific set of rules that our writing service follows:

Rule#1: Structure . What structure does an essay use?

The first rule is structure. Every research paper we work on has an introduction, a body, and a conclusion, and each of these parts has relevant subsections within it. Professional writers at our writing service know how to create an attention-grabbing opening line, but they also know how to combine all the essay parts coherently and logically.

Rule #2: Format . Which paper format should you use?

The second rule is the format. We work with different formats, but you need to indicate that for your assignment so that our team knows what you need. In most cases, your professor will tell you which format you need to follow. That being said, there can still be differences between the format requirements of different universities and colleges, so you need to let us know about them.

A research paper will likely need to have page numbers and margins formatted in a specific way. Moreover, you will need to indicate the font our paper writer needs to use and the spacing, margins, and other aspects of your paper that we will need to take care of. Our essay writing service is always ready to follow any requirements you have for the assignment so that you get a good grade for it.

Rule #3: Citation . Are citation rules clear for you?

The third and final rule is about citations. TrustMyPaper.com writers are well-versed in all the common citation styles, such as APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, and Turabian. Whichever citation style your school requires you to follow, our team of writers will be able to apply it to your paper correctly.

If You’re Ready to Pay Someone to Write a Paper For You...

... then you should also consider the quality of the final paper you will receive. While we are considered a cheap paper writing service, we still realize that someone with enough expertise and experience can only write a high-quality paper to handle it. If you still have doubts about the quality of our research papers, we encourage you to check out samples and see them for yourself.

Our writers, editors, and proofreaders are trained to check texts before they are delivered to our clients.

Every college paper we create is checked for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors. Then, we check it for possible factual inconsistencies.

Can Quality Custom Papers be Cheap?

If you have thought, “I want someone to write my paper for me,” then you have probably researched the matter. And if you have an idea about how paper writing services work, you probably expect professional essay writers to cost a lot. However, this is not always the case.

It’s true that many paper writing services falsely claim to be able to write high-quality essays for a very low price. Unfortunately, many such paper writing services are trying to scam people. In most cases, low prices translate into poor quality, while higher prices are associated with high quality.

But if you thought, “I need an expert to write my paper,” then you probably expect the quality of the said paper to be good. You will likely need to pay a little more than the average price to get a good paper. You shouldn’t be making deals that look too good to be true. Instead, look for those that offer a reasonable price.

If you are looking for someone to “write my paper for cheap” and you’ve come across our service, then you are probably quite happy about the discovery. Trust My Paper is notorious for being affordable while maintaining good quality. Nevertheless, you should also remember that prices depend on many factors, such as the assignment's deadline, complexity, and others.

5 best websites where I can pay someone to write my paper

CheapWritingService.com - A Reliable Service With the Best Prices

The team of writers, the order process, useful features, essayhelp.org - fast order process, academicexperts.com - a competent team of experts, collegepaperworld.com - a variety of cool features, write-right.net - high quality and quick delivery, factors to pay attention to when choosing a paper writing service.

• Flexible deadlines . Having an agency on hand that is able to deal with urgent assignments is a huge bonus. Not that many companies will get down to work when the deadline is in four hours. Therefore, finding such a service can be a challenge. Yet, you will be pleased you did it once you find such a reliable assistant. Only those companies that have true professionals on their team are able to complete such complex assignments properly and on time. Obviously, you need to learn more about the company before you place an order. If you have a friend or a classmate that recommends a certain service, you’ll be more likely to believe them as they already have a positive experience ordering from the company. Those agencies that hire experts with deep knowledge and vast experience don’t lie about their ability to handle complex issues properly. These are the companies you should stick to. They can become your savior when you’re dealing with a difficult assignment and have no idea what to do next. You can place an order, get coffee, go see a movie and have your paper done. 
• Experts that hold degrees. You don’t want an unqualified person to work on your task, right? Therefore, make sure that the company hires experts that have at least a Bachelor’s degree before you place your order. You are looking for a service that provides outstanding paper writing assistance. The only way to get it is when your paper is written by a pro. A pro is the one that possesses both knowledge and actual work experience in their area of expertise. Finding such a service is not that hard. However, it may still take some time. Therefore, allocate some time to analyze the quality of samples completed by the experts from the agencies you consider ordering from. Reach out to customer support if you have questions. Don’t be afraid to gather all the relevant info before you are ready to place your order. It’s clear that you need to be 100% sure before you make your decision. You can also ask what qualifications the writers on the team have. It’s your right to know who will be working on your assignment. After all, you’re paying good money for it. 
• Affordable prices . When you can afford to place orders as often as you want, this is the kind of service you are going to work with. Students don’t have an unlimited amount of money to spend on paper writing help. When they say “I pay someone to write my paper”, they expect the order to be done properly and delivered on time. Most importantly, they are looking for the so-called golden middle - a combination of superb quality and reasonable prices. Once they find such a service, it becomes their go-to agency for getting paper writing assistance. It’s understandable that it may be hard for a company to maintain such prices as expert writing assistance simply can’t be cheap. However, keeping a sort of a compromise is totally doable. Therefore, we advise you to take a look at a few of the services you are interested in and check out what their pricing policy is like. Place your first order to see whether the assistance they provide is worth the money. Once you find a qualified expert that doesn’t charge much, you won’t be willing to change anything. It may take time. Yet, you will be certain that there’s an expert on hand ready to get down to work no matter the complexity of your assignment. 
• Guarantees . This is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing a paper writing agency. When you decide to entrust the accomplishment of your assignment to a paper writing company, you want to be 100% sure that it’s a reliable agency with years of experience. What is more, you need to be certain that you’ll get your money back if you are not satisfied with your order. Asking for a free revision of the paper should be an option as well.

Can You Pay Someone to Write Your Dissertation?

Many of the world’s students are working on a type of project known as the dissertation, its final stage. It involves some complex research, analysis and – because of its size – considerable expertise in handling language and citations. Given the number of steps in a project of this magnitude, it’s no surprise that so many students decide to buy some support. In this article, we consider the pros and cons of this approach, and offer some balanced guidance on whether it would be a sensible decision for you – as well as some practical tips on how to go about it effectively.

For students considering external help with their dissertations, Ukwritings dissertation service offers expert assistance in writing and editing dissertations. They provide support tailored to individual needs, helping students navigate the complexities of dissertation writing with professional guidance and expertise.

1. Qualifications

When you hire a writer to help you craft a dissertation, the first thing you will probably look for is their years of experience and their qualifications:

• Personal information: the writer’s name and number, your name and number; task qualifications: your task, word count and format (write me an essay about X, [Y-X] words). The word count you don’t want to pay extra for. Attachments you provided. If it’s a paper, an essay, a blah-blah-blah.
• Research Experience: Since most people writing a dissertation are engaged in a substantial research project, hiring an editor with serious academic research experience is likely to be a much more efficient process.
• Relevance: It depends on whether your assignment requires an academic research background and experience of writing a dissertation. Do you know whether you will be found out? Well, no one has yet.

2. Writing Samples

Before hiring a dissertation writer, review their previous work samples:

• Clarity and Coherence of the Arguments: To what extent was the text written with both on-point and effective sentence structure and clear demarcation of paragraphs (ie, between one idea and the other)? Was the overall argument well-structured (moving from one point to the other, citing reliable sources, presenting insights, and not taking any irrational or illogical conversion)?
• Language Proficiency: Are they fluent writers overall – with good grammar, syntax and vocabulary?
• Purpose: Based on an excerpt of the writing sample, this task asks you to gauge the competence of the individual concerned as a writer, the versatility of the individual as an academic writer, and the capacity of the individual to express even more formulaic and complex ideas as an academic writer.

Research the writer’s reputation and read reviews from previous clients:

Client evaluation: Seek out testimonials or reviews that give a sense of how trustworthy the writer is and whether they did or did not deliver; also, did they give value for money, and did they deliver on time?

What academic reputation does the writer have? (The golden rule is ‘publish or perish’, after all.) Look for any references to her within these papers, and see if she has published in well-regarded journals in the field, as well as the reputation of the publishing venue. How about authors this writer collaborated with? Are there recommendations from professors and peers? You might have access to their LinkedIn profiles: might be worth scoping them out.

Significance: Reviews and popularity reflect the writer’s reputation and their reliability, eloquence, and ability to meet deadlines while delivering a credible academic paper to the agreed standards. When researching top rated dissertation writing websites , it’s crucial to consider these aspects to ensure you find a service that aligns with your academic needs and expectations.

4. Turnaround Time and Availability

Consider the writer’s availability and their ability to meet your deadlines:

• Project Shitstorms: Make it clear what they’re getting into and make sure that they have enough time to actually work on your dissertation.
• Turnaround Time: How long, on average, can I expect a draft, revision and submission of a completed draft at any given time, to keep me on track for an academic deadline?
• But, above all, because you don’t want to be doing dissertation extras for months when you could be doing revisions – and because, ultimately, deadlines to submit your dissertation tend to be very hard-nosed; it’s a bit cynical, but they really don’t want to pay you to finish after those months free-floating.

5. Revision Policy

Understand the writer’s policy on revisions and ongoing support:

Will they make revisions for you? If so, how many and what fundamentals go with it.

• Communication Bandwidth: Describe how you will communicate with the writer when the project is in process, how often you’ll get updates or answers to questions, and when the writer is available for consultations.
• Impact: A good revision policy with clear communication lines means that you will be able to give feedback, make key amendments and oversee what you are getting out of your dissertation.

6. Payment Terms

Evaluate the cost of hiring a dissertation writer and their payment terms:

• Fee Structure: Compare prices, eg per page, per project or tailored quotations based on clear project requirements.
• Payment Schedule: Discuss payment milestones and terms to avoid any misunderstandings regarding financial arrangements.
• Significance: This knowledge of costs and terms of payment will help you negotiate an affordable budget and will also enable you to maintain transparency in all financial commitments during the course of your collaboration.

However, if you decide to pay someone to write your dissertation, you will have some practical help in dealing with the heavy load of work to write and present an academic work that will comply with academia’s high standards to meet your dissertation project requirements. This is why when it comes to purchasing a dissertation, you must look at the following considerations: expertise of the writer, quality and appropriateness of the writing samples, the writer’s reputation, turnaround time, revision policy, and cost. Each of these considerations is important to your decision about buying a dissertation because each will help ensure that the writer and dissertation you choose to purchase will produce a high-quality, well-written dissertation that will meet the academic expectations to help you reach the next phase of scholarly achievement.

How not to write your college essay.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

If you are looking for the “secret formula” for writing a “winning” college essay, you have come to the wrong place. The reality is there is no silver bullet or strategy to write your way to an acceptance. There is not one topic or approach that will guarantee a favorable outcome.

At the end of the day, every admission office just wants to know more about you, what you value, and what excites you. They want to hear about your experiences through your own words and in your own voice. As you set out to write your essay, you will no doubt get input (both sought-after and unsolicited) on what to write. But how about what NOT Notcoin to write? There are avoidable blunders that applicants frequently make in drafting their essays. I asked college admission leaders, who have read thousands of submissions, to share their thoughts.

Don’t Go In There

There is wide consensus on this first one, so before you call on your Jedi mind tricks or predictive analytics, listen to the voices of a diverse range of admission deans. Peter Hagan, executive director of admissions at Syracuse University, sums it up best, saying, “I would recommend that students try not to get inside of our heads. He adds, “Too often the focus is on what they think we want.”

Andy Strickler, dean of admission and financial aid at Connecticut College agrees, warning, “Do NOT get caught in the trap of trying to figure out what is going to impress the admission committee. You have NO idea who is going to read your essay and what is going to connect with them. So, don't try to guess that.” Victoria Romero, vice president for enrollment, at Scripps College adds, “Do not write about something you don’t care about.” She says, “I think students try to figure out what an admission officer wants to read, and the reality is the reader begins every next essay with no expectations about the content THEY want to read.” Chrystal Russell, dean of admission at Hampden-Sydney College, agrees, saying, “If you're not interested in writing it, we will not be interested when reading it.” Jay Jacobs, vice provost for enrollment management at the University of Vermont elaborates, advising. “Don’t try to make yourself sound any different than you are.” He says, “The number one goal for admission officers is to better understand the applicant, what they like to do, what they want to do, where they spend the majority of their time, and what makes them tick. If a student stays genuine to that, it will shine through and make an engaging and successful essay.”

Don’t Be Artificial

The headlines about college admission are dominated by stories about artificial intelligence and the college essay. Let’s set some ground rules–to allow ChatGPT or some other tool to do your work is not only unethical, it is also unintelligent. The only worse mistake you could make is to let another human write your essay for you. Instead of preoccupying yourself with whether or not colleges are using AI detection software (most are not), spend your time focused on how best to express yourself authentically. Rick Clark is the executive director of strategic student success at Georgia Institute of Technology, one of the first institutions to clearly outline their AI policy for applicants. He says, “Much of a college application is devoted to lines, boxes, and numbers. Essays and supplements are the one place to establish connection, personality, and distinction. AI, in its current state, is terrible at all three.” He adds, “My hope is that students will use ChatGPT or other tools for brainstorming and to get started, but then move quickly into crafting an essay that will provide insight and value.”

Don’t Overdo It

Michael Stefanowicz, vice president for enrollment management at Landmark College says, “You can only cover so much detail about yourself in an admission essay, and a lot of students feel pressure to tell their life story or choose their most defining experience to date as an essay topic. Admission professionals know that you’re sharing just one part of your lived experience in the essay.” He adds, “Some of the favorite essays I’ve read have been episodic, reflecting on the way you’ve found meaning in a seemingly ordinary experience, advice you’ve lived out, a mistake you’ve learned from, or a special tradition in your life.” Gary Ross, vice president for admission and financial aid at Colgate University adds, “More than a few applicants each year craft essays that talk about the frustration and struggles they have experienced in identifying a topic for their college application essay. Presenting your college application essay as a smorgasbord of topics that ultimately landed on the cutting room floor does not give us much insight into an applicant.”

Don’t Believe In Magic

Jason Nevinger, senior director of admission at the University of Rochester warns, “Be skeptical of anyone or any company telling you, ‘This is the essay that got me into _____.’ There is no magic topic, approach, sentence structure, or prose that got any student into any institution ever.” Social media is littered with advertisements promising strategic essay help. Don’t waste your time, energy, or money trying to emulate a certain style, topic, or tone. Liz Cheron is chief executive officer for the Coalition for College and former assistant vice president of enrollment & dean of admissions at Northeastern University. She agrees with Nevinger, saying “Don't put pressure on yourself to find the perfect, slam dunk topic. The vast majority of college essays do exactly what they're supposed to do–they are well-written and tell the admission officer more about the student in that student's voice–and that can take many different forms.”

Don’t Over Recycle

Beatrice Atkinson-Myers, associate director of global recruitment at the University of California at Santa Cruz tells students, “Do not use the same response for each university; research and craft your essay to match the program at the university you are interested in studying. Don't waste time telling me things I can read elsewhere in your application. Use your essay to give the admissions officer insights into your motivations, interests, and thinking. Don't make your essay the kitchen sink, focus on one or two examples which demonstrate your depth and creativity.” Her UC colleague, Jim Rawlins, associate vice chancellor of enrollment management at the University of California at San Diego agrees, saying “Answer the question. Not doing so is the surest way we can tell you are simply giving us a snippet of something you actually wrote for a different purpose.”

Don’t Overedit

Emily Roper-Doten, vice president for undergraduate admissions and financial assistance at Clark University warns against “Too many editors!” She says, “Pick a couple of trusted folks to be your sounding board when considering topics and as readers once you have drafts. You don’t want too many voices in your essay to drown you out!” Scripps’ Romero agrees, suggesting, “Ask a good friend, someone you trust and knows you well, to read your essays.” She adds, “The goal is for the admission committee to get to know a little about you and who better to help you create that framework, than a good friend. This may not work for all students because of content but helps them understand it’s important to be themselves.” Whitney Soule, vice provost and dean of admissions at The University of Pennsylvania adds, “Avoid well-meaning editorial interference that might seem to polish your writing but actually takes your own personal ‘shine’ right out of the message.” She says, “As readers, we connect to applicants through their genuine tone and style. Considering editorial advice for flow and message is OK but hold on to the 'you' for what you want to say and how you want to say it.”

Don’t Get Showy

Palmer Muntz, senior regional admissions counselor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks cautions applicants, “Don’t be fancier than you are. You don’t need to put on airs.” He adds, “Yes, proofread your work for grammar and spelling, but be natural. Craft something you’d want to read yourself, which probably means keeping your paragraphs short, using familiar words, and writing in an active voice.” Connecticut College’s Strickler agrees, warning, “Don't try to be someone you are not. If you are not funny, don't try to write a funny essay. If you are not an intellectual, trying to write an intellectual essay is a bad idea.”

Anthony Jones, the vice president of enrollment management at Loyola University New Orleans offers a unique metaphor for thinking about the essay. He says, “In the new world of the hyper-fast college admission process, it's become easy to overlook the essential meaning of the college application. It's meant to reveal Y...O...U, the real you, not some phony digital avatar. Think of the essay as the essence of that voice but in analog. Like the completeness and authenticity captured in a vinyl record, the few lines you're given to explain your view should be a slow walk through unrestrained expression chock full of unapologetic nuances, crevices of emotion, and exactness about how you feel in the moment. Then, and only then, can you give the admissions officer an experience that makes them want to tune in and listen for more.”

Don’t Be A Downer

James Nondorf, vice president and dean of admissions and financial aid at The University of Chicago says, “Don’t be negative about other people, be appreciative of those who have supported you, and be excited about who you are and what you will bring to our campus!” He adds, “While admissions offices want smart students for our classrooms, we also want kind-hearted, caring, and joyous students who will add to our campus communities too.”

Don’t Pattern Match

Alan Ramirez is the dean of admission and financial aid at Sewanee, The University of the South. He explains, “A big concern I have is when students find themselves comparing their writing to other students or past applicants and transform their writing to be more like those individuals as a way to better their chances of offering a more-compelling essay.” He emphasizes that the result is that the “essay is no longer authentic nor the best representation of themselves and the whole point of the essay is lost. Their distinctive voice and viewpoint contribute to the range of voices in the incoming class, enhancing the diversity of perspectives we aim to achieve.” Ramirez simple tells students, “Be yourself, that’s what we want to see, plus there's no one else who can do it better than you!”

Don’t Feel Tied To A Topic

Jessica Ricker is the vice president for enrollment and dean of admissions and financial aid at Skidmore College. She says, “Sometimes students feel they must tell a story of grief or hardship, and then end up reliving that during the essay-writing process in ways that are emotionally detrimental. I encourage students to choose a topic they can reflect upon positively but recommend that if they choose a more challenging experience to write about, they avoid belaboring the details and instead focus on the outcome of that journey.” She adds, "They simply need to name it, frame its impact, and then help us as the reader understand how it has shaped their lens on life and their approach moving forward.”

Landmark College’s Stefanowicz adds, “A lot of students worry about how personal to get in sharing a part of their identity like your race or heritage (recalling last year’s Supreme Court case about race-conscious admissions), a learning difference or other disability, your religious values, LGBTQ identity…the list goes on.” He emphasizes, “This is always your choice, and your essay doesn’t have to be about a defining identity. But I encourage you to be fully yourself as you present yourself to colleges—because the college admission process is about finding a school where your whole self is welcome and you find a setting to flourish!”

Don’t Be Redundant

Hillen Grason Jr., dean of admission at Franklin & Marshall College, advises, “Don't repeat academic or co-curricular information that is easily identifiable within other parts of your application unless the topic is a core tenant of you as an individual.” He adds, “Use your essay, and other parts of your application, wisely. Your essay is the best way to convey who your authentic self is to the schools you apply. If you navigated a situation that led to a dip in your grades or co-curricular involvement, leverage the ‘additional information’ section of the application.

Thomas Marr is a regional manager of admissions for the Americas at The University of St Andrews in Scotland and points out that “Not all international schools use the main college essay as part of their assessment when reviewing student applications.” He says, “At the University of St Andrews, we focus on the supplemental essay and students should avoid the mistake of making the supplemental a repeat of their other essay. The supplemental (called the Personal Statement if using the UCAS application process) is to show the extent of their passion and enthusiasm for the subject/s to which they are applying and we expect about 75% of the content to cover this. They can use the remaining space to mention their interests outside of the classroom. Some students confuse passion for the school with passion for their subject; do not fall into that trap.”

A Few Final Don’ts

Don’t delay. Every college applicant I have ever worked with has wished they had started earlier. You can best avoid the pitfalls above if you give yourself the time and space to write a thoughtful essay and welcome feedback openly but cautiously. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself to be perfect . Do your best, share your voice, and stay true to who you are.
