Reviews
What applicants say after reading their report.
“I see what you’re getting at. I agree, expanding on that moment would also make the ending’s impact stronger.”
“This nudge essay site is overpowered as hell.”
What a parent gets back
The report comes back in about five minutes, at any hour, not in the days a counselor with forty seniors needs. It names the one sentence a tired reader would still have the next morning, marks the essay line by line in the margin the way a reader would, scores six rubric bands against the prompt the school actually asked, and ranks the fixes so your child knows what to change first instead of facing twenty equal notes.
It is read against the school on the list, not against a general idea of a good essay. Pick the college and the supplement when you drop the draft and the read is scored against that prompt and its word limit. Every school we carry prompts for is listed, with what each one asks this year.
The verdict on your own essay is free: drop the draft and you see what the read found before deciding whether to buy the rest. The full report is $49 for one essay, or $299 for a pack of 20 at about $15 an essay, which is the one most families take because a senior writes far more than one. Every essay includes one free re-read of the revised draft and nothing expires. Seven complete reports are published in full, free to read with no account, so you can see exactly what arrives before paying anything. NudgeEssay never writes or rewrites the essay: the words your child submits stay theirs.
