Admission Essay Writing Service for College, Graduate and Scholarship Essays

Every admissions service, with its price. Pick the row that matches your document and how much of it you have written.

The same rates sit on the full price list next to every other GradeDraft service. Rush work under 12 hours adds 40%. Writing a graduate statement yourself first? The graduate personal statement examples and the statement of purpose guide are free to read before you order.

Who works on your essay. Admissions orders go to the GradeDraft admissions desk, which handles every document above. You message your writer directly in the order thread, and the desk's roster lives on the writers page.

See the work before you order. Every service page carries a full sample: two drafts from one story brief, a 912-word essay cut to 648, an annotated scholarship opening. More sit in the sample library. Our revision and refund terms apply to every admissions order, and how an order runs explains the brief, the draft and the approval step. Deadline rounds, decision letters and the difference between admission, acceptance and enrollment are covered in the admissions terms and process guide.

§ 01

What do colleges look for in the essays - and the colleges that ask for none

Readers use the essay to check what the rest of the file can't show, and a meaningful number of schools don't require one at all.

The four things a reader is checking for

Voice, reflection, fit and sentence-level control. See how to start a college essay for the drafting process and what to write your college essay about for topic selection.

Colleges that don't require essays and what they weigh instead

Essay policies are set per institution and change annually, so confirm on the school's page first.

Scroll the table sideways to see every column.

Where the essay sits against GPA, rigor and testing

The essay is read after transcript and rigor, and it carries the most weight at test-optional schools. See full college essay examples for what a competitive one looks like, and one 650-word essay shown from first draft to final for how a draft gets there.

§ 02

Which application documents you actually have to write

Every application boils down to a short list of documents. The table shows which service covers each. GradeDraft is independent of and not affiliated with Common App, the Coalition for College or AMCAS.

Undergraduate: personal statement, supplementals, additional information

A main personal essay, supplementals per school, and an optional additional information section. The main essay answers one prompt, so start with the seven Common App prompts, decoded. The shorter school-specific answers have their own guide: supplemental essays, prompt type by prompt type.

Graduate: statement of purpose, personal statement, personal history statement

A statement of purpose on research fit, and sometimes a separate personal statement or personal history statement on background.

Professional: MBA short answers, AMCAS personal comments, secondaries

MBA short-answer prompts, the AMCAS personal comments essay, and secondaries after a primary application.

Scholarship essays

Written to a sponsor's own prompt and word cap, separate from what the college requires. Annotated scholarship essay examples show how a sponsor's prompt changes what the essay has to prove.

Letters you request rather than write

Letters of recommendation are the one document you don't write. You request them with lead time.

Not every document belongs here: a class essay belongs with essay writing, a longer paper with research paper help, a non-admissions draft with editing services, a dissertation chapter with dissertation help, and a problem set with homework help.

§ 03

Where to get help - and which kind of help is which

Three different products get sold under "admissions help." An admission essay writing service is only one of them (the writing model below), so check which one a page actually offers.

Coaching: someone guides you while you write

A person guides your own draft through sessions and feedback, without producing text (the tutor row above).

Editing: someone improves the draft you wrote

Someone improves the draft you already have, with line edits and a review report (the editor row above).

Writing: someone produces a draft from your material

A writer produces the draft from your material, using a story brief (the application essay row above).

How to tell which one a company is actually selling

"Session," "guide" and "brainstorm" mean coaching. "Edit," "line-edit" and "mark up" mean editing. "Write," "draft" and "produce" mean writing. A page mixing all three is describing itself, not a service.
