    How It Works

    Our Advisors don’t just skim your essay—they take a comprehensive approach guided by a proven rubric built from leading experts in college admissions writing, including Essays That Worked for College Applications (Curry, Boykin, Baer, & Kasbar, 2003) and Demystifying and Deconstructing the College Application Process (Richardson, 2008).

    When you submit your essay, here’s what happens:

    1. Initial Review: Advisors read your essay closely, focusing on clarity, authenticity, and alignment with the essay prompt.

    2. Rubric-Based Evaluation: Using a structured framework informed by expert sources, Advisors evaluate multiple factors such as:

      •  * Strength of your narrative and personal voice

      •  * Organization and flow of ideas

      •  * Depth of reflection and self-awareness

      •  * Specificity and detail that make your story memorable

      •  * Mechanics, grammar, and style that ensure professionalism

    3. Actionable Feedback: You’ll receive clear, constructive suggestions that highlight your strengths while providing step-by-step guidance to improve weaker areas.

    4. Tailored Next Steps: GS Advisors recommend key areas to refine your draft, whether that means sharpening your introduction, strengthening your conclusion, or polishing your language.

    This thoughtful process ensures your essay isn’t just grammatically sound—it resonates with admissions officers, reflects who you are, and maximizes your potential for success.
