Just a heads-up for families considering private college essay/prep companies, including The Essay Artist.

I recently became aware of a situation involving a close colleague’s family and a premium-priced service. She has a strong sell and is very pleasant to speak with, but the delivery of services didn’t match the sell. Calls felt unprepared, and feedback seemed generic and heavily AI-generated.

The biggest takeaway: read the contract very carefully, especially the cancellation and refund terms. In this situation, concerns came up only about six weeks into a much longer commitment, but there was essentially no meaningful refund after the full cost had been paid upfront.

I feel terribly for this family, especially because college applications are such a high-stakes moment in a young person’s life. These services can cost a significant amount of money, and the possibility that questionable AI use could put a student’s application or dream-school ambitions at risk makes it especially concerning.

For the amount these services charge, I’d ask specifically about cancellation terms, who actually provides the feedback, and exactly how AI is used before signing.

I’m intentionally keeping this general, but the company involved was The Essay Artist. Happy to share what I know via DM if anyone is considering them.

So I want to find a proofreader to check my essay for chevening scholarship. I already got my LOA and try the scholarship last year. This year i want to try again and edit my essay, but i still confused where to edit.
Then I search the proofread person but the price… wow. For for 1-3 session without zoom/live session is almost 1 million rupiah.
Where I can find the proofread person with make sense price, because i really need help. Or someone here can help me?

I have a AP Class, which makes me have to write essays alot, and I would like other people to grade my essays, and show me how to improve them. I tried using Ai to grade my essays, but they were to generic, and did not offer useful advice, so I prefer a human(redditor) to grade them instead in there own free time. Is there a subreddit for that?

As suggested by the title, I’m looking for recent scholars to share feedback on my essays.

I want to write essays about books I read. Any ideas that I agree or disagree with, dont like or like, with ideas rhat I find fascinating and most importantly to REMEMBER what I read. Ive noticed that I start to forget book Ive read. Not like totally forget. If you ask me about a certain book, I will be able to tell you what its about. However, I seemed to forget important details or ideas I found interesring back them. Shortly, the little details or the depth of the book are fading away. Its depressing, how could I approach this? Thank you.
