Common App & UC PIQ

Honest feedback on your college essay.

Post a draft and get notes from real readers — with current students and admissions professionals clearly marked, so you know whose advice you are taking.

Free, and you can read the feed before signing up.

Notes on the exact sentence

Readers highlight the line they mean and comment right there, so feedback points at the writing instead of talking around it.

You can see who is talking

Current students and admissions professionals are checked and badged. Everyone else is simply unmarked — no guessing who knows what.

Post without your name

Share publicly, post anonymously, or keep it to a private link you send to a few people. Your call, per essay.

Moderated, and you can block

Comments are screened, anything cruel can be reported, and on your own essay you can block someone outright.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Post your draft

    Pick your Common App or UC PIQ prompt, paste the draft, choose how public it is.

  2. Step 2

    Get real feedback

    Readers leave notes on specific passages — what lands, what reads generic, what to cut.

  3. Step 3

    Revise with context

    Weigh notes by who wrote them, edit your essay, and post the next draft when it is ready.
