College essay review that helps
you revise with purpose.
Get feedback on story, voice, reflection, and clarity for your personal statement and supplements. Start free, then choose the suggestions that help your next draft.
Feedback built for admissions, not autocorrect
Review the meaning and structure of your story as well as sentence clarity. AI feedback can support your revision process; it does not predict admissions decisions.
Essay-focused feedback
Look at how the story communicates your perspective, where reflection needs detail, and which passages need clearer wording.
Prompt-aware suggestions
Provide your essay prompt to give the review context, then check that your response answers every part of the question.
Understand how your essay is processed
Essium stores drafts in your workspace and routes AI requests through external providers. Read our privacy policy before submitting personal information.
How an Essium review actually runs
Provide your draft and prompt, read the feedback, and choose one or two issues to revise first. Check each suggestion against what you actually want to say.
Paste your essay and provide the prompt
Start with a personal statement or supplemental essay. Include the prompt so the feedback can address the question you are answering.
Feedback on four writing dimensions
Review story, voice, reflection, and clarity to identify where to focus your next revision. Scores describe the draft, not your chances of admission.
Actionable rewrite guidance
Read inline comments and use revision tools to work on specific passages. Evaluate suggestions and keep the final wording your own.
Revise and review again
Keep personal statements and supplements in one workspace. Work through your revision priorities and review the updated draft.
Beyond the red pen
The platform focuses on the parts of an essay a reviewer's eye lingers on — and gives you concrete ways to fix them.
Deeper than grammar
Analyze theme, reflection, pacing, and admissions resonance instead of surface-level copy edits.
Free reviews, with more on Pro
The free plan includes up to 1 essay review per day. Pro removes the daily review cap with a one-time $49 Season Pass for six months.
Revision-ready snippets
Explore suggestions for hooks, transitions, and conclusions, then decide what accurately represents your experience and voice.
