Wordvice editors are native English speakers with advanced degrees (master’s and PhDs) in various academic fields (ranging from the biosciences, engineering, and medicine to history, law, and business), and years of experience revising admissions essays. What our editors all have in common is a passion for helping ambitious people like you achieve their dreams. Many of our editors have worked in university admissions departments, and all of them have successfully navigated the college and graduate school admissions process. Who better to help you than those who have demonstrated success by attending some of the most prestigious schools in the world?

Our editors proofread and revise your admissions essay for clarity, readability, vocabulary, tone, and flow. They rephrase awkward or unnatural sentences and make your writing more natural and convincing to graduate faculties, who are looking for a candidate with a strong academic background and personal story to tell. For professors and colleagues who are writing recommendation letters, we refine the language and expressions to highlight their genuine support for their candidate, all while maintaining the author’s intended meaning and personal voice.

International and ESL students often struggle with language barriers, which can make it difficult to be admitted into a reputable graduate program. The good news for international students is that the TOEFL score required for admission to grad school isn’t as high as that needed for college. According to Magoosh , the average TOEFL scores needed for admission to graduate programs are sometimes 10–20 points lower than for college admissions.

With that said, regardless of where you are from or your level of writing in English, your SOP must still be readable and clearly convey your determination to become an effective researcher. You must therefore demonstrate to the admissions committee that their specific program is an essential step for the career path you have chosen and that your interests are aligned with those of the school, department, and program (and, ideally, of specific professors).

Our Graduate School Admissions Essay Editing Services are designed to help you convey your positive assets in the clearest, most compelling way possible. Our native-English speakers apply more natural phrases that exemplify English language fluency, so your writing reads more like that of a native speaker. Moreover, admissions officers read hundreds of similar documents, and clunky or formulaic language can be an instant irritation, regardless of your true merit. Because a great many of our clients are international and ESL students, our editors have extensive experience in revising documents from applicants just like you.

As a graduate school applicant, you have a lot to deal with during the university application process. With Graduate Admissions Essay Editing from Wordvice, you can be assured that one of the most important factors in your application — your admissions essay — will be in safe hands.
