Hi PH — I built NudgeEssay because the essay is the one part of a college application families can still improve in a weekend, and the existing options are extremes: a private counselor at $150–$380 per essay, or a subscription scorer that grades every essay against the same fixed rubric. NudgeEssay runs 23 checks built only for the college application essay. The part I'm proudest of: two simulated readers skim your draft blind to each other at real reading speed, and you see the one sentence each of them carried away, where their attention dropped paragraph by paragraph, and what got skipped entirely. Then a rubric calibrated to how your target school actually reads (holistic committee vs scored), margin notes on your exact sentences, and a fix list ranked by payoff per word changed. You see the verdict on your own essay before paying anything. $49 per essay or $249 for a 20-essay pack, one free re-read of every essay, nothing expires. It will not write the essay — it reviews writing you already did, and the words you submit have to be yours. Seven complete sample reports are free to read at https://nudgeessay.com/samples — I'd genuinely value this crowd's read on the report format itself. Ask me anything.
