Built for the Common App essay grind

Turn your draft into the essay that gets you in.

Paste your essay. Admitly reads it like an admissions officer would — flags the clichés, the vague lines, the openings that sound like everyone else's — and shows you exactly what to write instead.

ROUND 2
7OUT OF 10

Ever since I was young, I have always learned so much from my experiences ↳ too vague — what did you actually learn? working on my grandfather's boat. The smell of diesel and low tide still means more to me than any classroom ever could.

essay most admissions readers actually remember, out of hundreds they read
feedback rounds included — revise until it's actually good

Not just "make it better." Exactly what's wrong, and exactly how to fix it.

A real score, not a vibe

Every review comes back with a number out of 10 and the exact reason behind it — so you know if you're actually ready to submit, or still have real work to do.

7 / 10
"Strong core anecdote, but the ending falls back into summary instead of insight."

A full rewrite, still sounding like you

Not a generic "more polished" version — a rewrite that keeps your specific details, your sentence rhythm, your voice. Fixes the structure, doesn't replace the writer.

I have always been passionate about helping others.

Every essay, not just the Common App

Supplementals, scholarship essays, and general school writing all get the same level of specific feedback — this isn't a one-essay tool.

Before you try it

Does this write the essay for me?

No. Admitly critiques and suggests rewrites for writing that's already yours — it won't invent new stories, details, or experiences you haven't actually had. It's a feedback tool, not a ghostwriter.

Is my essay stored anywhere, or private?

Your essay is only ever visible to you, tied to your own signed-in account. We don't sell it, share it, or use it to train any AI model. Full details are in our privacy policy.

Does it work for supplemental and scholarship essays too?

Yes — pick the essay type from the dropdown and the feedback adjusts accordingly. There's also a General essay mode for regular school writing assignments, not just admissions.

What happens after my 2 free reviews?

You can upgrade to Unlimited for $12/month anytime, or wait until next month when your free reviews reset. No surprise charges — you always see exactly where you stand before hitting the limit.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel whenever you want and you won't be charged again — your access continues through the end of whatever period you already paid for.

Paste it. See what's actually wrong. Fix it.
