"Thank
you for being so prompt in sending me the last Admissions Essay
Packets I requested. They were so successful with my group that I
need more. About 100 more copies as a matter of fact. If you can
send them to me as soon as you can I would appreciate it very much.
Thank you."

"As
a counselor in San Antonio ISD, I cannot thank you enough for the
free packets on essay writing. Essays have always been difficult for
our students and many do not apply for scholarships or to certain
universities if essays are involved. Thank you for sharing this
wonderful resource to assist the students of Edison High School."

The Importance of the Essay
We at EssayEdge have seen firsthand the difference a well-written application essay can make. Students who would have been rejected on the basis of their SAT scores and grades have won admission to schools ranging from Harvard to NYU after using our Essay Help Services.
The
application
essay is the only guide admissions officers have of a student's personality.
Test scores and grades form one crucial aspect of the application while the
admissions essay and recommendations form the other. However, while students
might spend weeks to months preparing for the SAT or GMAT, the average
student spends only two hours writing the application essay.
Most students applying to a particular college will have similar grades and SAT scores. The primary way admissions officers choose among thousands of similar applicants is by evaluating their admissions essays. EssayEdge helps students improve their essays and increases their chance of admission. Over 70 percent of students who use EssayEdge services are admitted to their first choice school!
