Just curious if anyone has used a free essay review service that they would recommend. I really want to get feedback on my drafts but funds are tight.
Hey there! I totally understand the concern about cost. Some high schools offer free essay review as part of their college prep programs, so definitely ask your guidance counselor if that’s available. Also, there are free resources online where volunteers, such as college students or retired teachers, provide feedback.
For instance, CollegeVine offers a free peer essay review service. It's sort of like a community where students can give feedback to each other. Just be aware that the feedback will vary since they’re from peers, not professionals. You can find it here: https://www.collegevine.com/essays/review
Lastly, don't underestimate the value of feedback from your English teacher or even friends and family members. They might not be admissions experts, but they can still help you identify parts of your essay that might be confusing or need more clarity. Good luck with your essay!
CollegeVine’s Q&A seeks to offer informed perspectives on commonly asked admissions questions. Every answer is refined and validated by our team of admissions experts to ensure it resonates with trusted knowledge in the field.
