Common App Essay Review - 1 Round of Expert Feedback: I'll read your finished common app essay (whichever one you'd prefer) and provide a clear, structured set of notes focused on clarity, strength of message, flow, and overall impact, so you know what’s working and where you might tighten things before submitting. - No Rewriting or Drafting: You’ll receive high-level commentary and specific suggestions, but all edits remain in your hands to ensure the work is your own. BYU Essay Review (FREE) As a thank-you for working with me on your Common App essay, I offer free final review on your BYU application essays: - Clarity + Prompt Alignment Review: I’ll give thoughtful, final feedback on how well your essays answer the prompts and whether they reflect your voice and values. - 1 Round of Feedback: This review is limited to one round of free, non-paid feedback. I’ll never rewrite, restructure, or use AI, just honest suggestions to help you confidently submit work that’s truly your own. -- A note on the BYU Application: Leland has worked with dozens of BYU experts (including former BYU admissions officers) to build a package that is in compliance with BYU's application guidelines. The BYU application from 2024-2025 included the following language: - "You may not use generative AI tools (like ChatGPT) as you compose your responses" — Our BYU experts are trained to support you as you write your own application, avoiding any and all AI tools that may be flagged by tools that flag AI-generated content - "You may not pay anyone to help you with your application." — Coaches have agreed to provide all BYU support 100% for FREE for students who work with them through this package. - "You may ask others to read and review your essays to ensure that you are answering the prompt clearly and effectively." — Your coach will provide free essay revisions in line with this guidance - "Although it is acceptable to have others review your essays prior to submission, the words and ideas must be your own." — Your coach will never write essays for you, but they will support you as you craft a winning essay that resonates with the admissions team In summary, this package is in compliance with BYU's application guidance. Leland has helped thousands of students with their BYU and other college applications and are excited to support you as you pursue this important goal. We are also deeply grateful to our BYU experts who have offered to provide BYU coaching for free for their clients who work with them on other schools.
