Resolved to make 2013 the year you move forward with your education? Northwest Essay is here to help!


If you are applying to college, you’ll be writing a personal statement. It’s a nerve-wracking prospect: you have to be interesting, smart, and memorable to a group of people you’ve never met—and all in just a few pages. Sound tough? You’re right: it is.
               
You don’t want to sound like every other applicant or make the basic mistakes that many students make. We can help you with that. For $20, we’ll go over your essay and offer you a thorough response (click here to see samples of our work).

We’ll give you quick, expert, useful feedback at an economical price. Or, if you prefer, we offer an expedited editing package so you can meet your looming application deadline, or multi-step editing packages if you feel you need more than one round of feedback and edits.

We’ve helped hundreds of applicants; you can see some of their testimonials below. We love what we do! And don’t worry: The application process intimidates even the most accomplished student. Having a quality reader can help ease your mind, and focus your edits. Take a look at our editing packages; we think you’ll find one that fits your needs.


Here's what Northwest Essay clients have to say about us:

"Thanks so much for the amazing comments on the personal statement! I really appreciate it. In particular, I really found your questions helpful. They help prod along my thinking so well!"

"I was very pleased with the editing service and will recommend it to my friends. I wish I had decided to work with Northwest earlier on in the application process because having someone check my work was a big relief and saved me stress."

Taking the October LSAT?

Sep. 16th, 2012 | posted by: Danielle

You’re probably stressed out. Maybe you’re spending every waking moment picking apart the structure of sentences, or making diagrams with your refrigerator magnets.

Our advice? Schedule a two-hour break, and write a draft of your personal statement or diversity statement. These drafts might not be good - you might not keep them. But you’ll be grateful to have a draft to look at on the other side of the LSAT. You will be so exhausted and depleted after taking the LSAT, and so worried about your score, that working on your essays from scratch will be that much harder. And then you’ll realize that you really need to have final drafts ready to send in just a few weeks (plan to be LSAC-complete in November!!), and you may freak out. Just get something on paper now! Trust us - you’ll be glad you did.
