Personal Statement Review Service Forum

[Dedication86]

I was wondering if anyone has had any recent experiences with Essay Edge for their PS. I know there is a post on here about them already but it is from 2008/09 so I was wondering if anyone had any updated experiences.

If not through Essay Edge, any other services recommended? I have a lot of intangibles that really make my Personal Statement pop, I just want it reviewed by a professional!

Thanks in advance!

I used Revision Editing and Northwest Essay and was very pleased with both.

has anyone else had experience with Revision law or Northwest? I really need this personal statement to pop!

How much did each cost you? What exactly do they edit for? Content? Punctuation?

Revision wasn't as much they charge now. I can't remember exactly, about $150 or so. But she is excellent, and walks you through stuff, and will do a couple of drafts.

Northwest is, like they say, $15. It's pretty basic, nowhere near as precise as Revision. It's more a general overview.

I was pleased with both, and liked using both in conjunction.

Does revision actually use people with a PhD in English or anything? I'm wondering if it's even worth it if I can just give it to one of my professors.

Yes. Joann at Revision went Stanford and all kinds of stuff.

I was an English major, and she is very, very good.

I won a free edit from Gradvocates on twitter and they gave some great suggestion for me. No complaints (I also didnt pay anything for it).

Otherwise, if you don't mind selling a kidney to afford it, check out Essay Edge.
