"May provided sound advice and speedy critiques for every draft I wrote and rewrote, never failing to give me highly detailed responses on my personal statement. She highlighted certain issues that I was not even aware of in the beginning, and gave me sharp techniques on how to improve on each issue which ultimately, elevated the quality of my personal statement in the end. May dissected every part of my essay and always responded with a long overview of my essay draft each time. The advice I received from May—whether on essays or general college advice—were always very helpful and my overall application is definitely stronger as a result of her attentions."

“I really appreciated how thorough and accommodating Collab Culture was! I found the opportunity to receive secondary edits here through a recommendation, filled out a partial fee waiver form and was able to get a few secondary essays edited at a affordable price point, and receive my edits back all within a couple of hours! My mentor really took their time to read through my primary and secondary applications to write detailed comments that were specifically tailored to how I can convey my story in an effective manner. I really felt like the comments were coming from a genuine place of wanting to see people improve with their writing, and put their best foot forward for AdComs. I highly highly recommend anyone to use these services!”

“I loved how honest, thorough, and to-the-point May was with her feedback. She never sugarcoated anything, and that really gave me the push I needed to improve with every draft. She caught everything— grammatical errors, cliches, awkward phrases, cheesy sentences, problematic anecdotes. She had really great advice on how to restructure my essay and get my points across succinctly. I also really appreciated the lengths May went to clarify her comments and make sure I understood her feedback. I am really happy with the essay I ended up with, and it wouldn't have been possible without May.”

“May sticks to her word. She provided me with a ton of edits and returned it to me within the day. She left detailed comments and suggestions that I never thought of or never got from other people that previously read my essay. I would totally recommend other students going through college applications/writing college essays to use May’s service since she was a big help! I definitely feel that my essay was a lot stronger and better all thanks to May’s great service."

“I was able to receive a fee waiver, which was extremely helpful. I haven't found any service similar to Collab Culture, so it is truly one of a kind. It was very easy to communicate with my mentor and an overall smooth process. The comments and suggestions were all very specific and allowed me to focus on several areas from which I could improve my essay. Thanks again!”

I was on a tight deadline and Alex was really quick at getting detailed edits back. He helped me to dig deeper and develop a more complex idea. He also helped me explore how to structure and frame my essay in the most effective way possible. Each draft, he provided insightful comments per sentence on how to improve grammar and phrasing. Overall, I am really satisfied with my final essay and had a great experience with this service! Thank you!
