University of Redlands essay review
University of Redlands asks every applicant for one school-specific essay for 2026-27. A NudgeEssay review reads your draft against the University of Redlands prompt you pick, not against a general checklist: six rubric bands scored 1 to 5, notes on your own sentences in the margin, a map of where a reader's attention holds and where it drops, and a ranked list of fixes with the biggest one first. The first fix and the line a reader kept come back free; the full marked-up report is $49 for one essay or $299 for 20.
The University of Redlands prompts and deadlines below were read on University of Redlands's own admissions site on 2026-09-04. NudgeEssay is not affiliated with University of Redlands and makes no claim about any admissions decision.
What University of Redlands asks you to write
Word for word, from University of Redlands’s own admissions pages. Pick the one your draft answers in the box below and the read is judged against that prompt’s own asks.
Required, wording not published · not an essay
The University of Redlands supplement to the Common Application.
Redlands' application checklist names "University of Redlands member questions" and its admissions FAQ says: "We love learning more about you through your personal statement and the University of Redlands supplement. Make sure to give your essays the personal attention they deserve...there are no right answers to the questions!" (implying more than one question), but neither page prints the actual question text.
The same prompts with every deadline round, the platform and the dated source are on the University of Redlands essay requirements page.
What the review does to your University of Redlands essay
It reads the draft cold, the way a stranger with four hundred more files to get through reads it, and answers the question that decides the essay: what is still there a week later. Then it scores six rubric bands from 1 to 5, each with a short quote from your own essay that drove the band and two or three sentences on what would raise it.
It marks your own sentences in the margin, maps where a reader’s attention holds and where it drops across the draft, screens for the patterns that read as AI-written or consultant-written, names the stock archetypes the essay is falling into, and ranks the fixes with the biggest one first. It points at your own material and never writes a sentence for you to paste.
Prompt fit is judged first, before any opinion of the writing: each distinct ask in the University of Redlands prompt is checked separately, because an essay aimed near the prompt rather than at it is the most common fatal miss in a paid draft.
All 23 checks are listed on what the review checks. Seven complete reports on sample essays are published unedited, exactly as the engine wrote them, on the samples page, and what a college essay grader leaves out explains where the six bands stop and the read begins.

What University of Redlands reports about admissions
University of Redlands admits 82.7% of applicants. The middle 50% of enrolled students scored 1107-1350 on the SAT and 21-28 on the ACT.
From the federal College Scorecard, pulled 2026-09-17. Score figures describe enrolled students, not applicants and not admits, and they are not a cutoff. No admission probability is stated anywhere on this site, because colleges do not publish admit rates conditional on a score, so any single percentage would be invented. The free chance me tool sorts a list into reaches, targets and likelies and gives no percentage either.

Questions
- How many essays does University of Redlands require?
- University of Redlands asks every applicant for one school-specific essay for 2026-27. Each prompt is printed word for word on this page and on the University of Redlands requirements page, with the date it was last read on University of Redlands's own admissions site.
- What is the word limit on the University of Redlands essays?
- University of Redlands does not state a limit in words on the prompt every applicant meets. Where a college states a cap in characters or lines, or states none at all, this site prints what the college actually wrote rather than converting it into a word count that the college never published. The wording is above, exactly as it appears on University of Redlands's own page.
- Is the review written against the University of Redlands prompts or against a general checklist?
- Against the prompt you pick. You choose which University of Redlands prompt the draft answers before the read starts, and the report judges whether the essay answers that prompt's distinct asks, each one separately, before it forms any opinion of the writing. A well-made essay aimed near the prompt is the most common fatal miss in a paid draft, so prompt fit is judged first rather than last.

- The first deadline is EA2 on December 1, 2026 (Early Action 2). University of Redlands publishes 3 rounds for 2026-27: EA2 on December 1, 2026 (Early Action 2), Early Action on November 1, 2026 (Early Action 1), Regular Decision on January 15, 2027. Dates come from University of Redlands's own admissions site, read on 2026-09-04, and a college can move a date mid-cycle, so confirm on University of Redlands's own page before you rely on it.
- How much does an essay review for University of Redlands cost?
- $49 for one essay, $199 for a pack of 10, or $299 for a pack of 20, which is about $15 an essay. Every essay includes one free re-read of the revised draft and nothing expires. You see your report in redacted form, with the first fix and the line a reader kept, before you decide whether to pay.
