Proven Editing Process

We strive to give you the most comprehensive editing experience offered on the Internet.

The effort you put into your application can change your life.

We know -- it's happened to us.

But one of the most consistently under-valued, yet critical, aspects of a competitive application is a compelling essay.

Every student deserves to put their best foot forward when it comes to admissions. This guiding principle is at the heart of the Veritas Essays editing process, which we've briefly outlined below.

1
First Pass

Reading from the mindset of an admissions reader

Your editor will first give your essay a full read-through from top-to-bottom.

This is to get an immediate impression of your essay's content, tone, and potential impact on the reader.

Our editors are trained to identify the key components of a successful admissions essay, and have been selected for our team specifically because of their outstanding writing, editing, and proofreading abilities.

2
In-Line Edits

Comprehensive, granular editing and commenting on your writing

Next, your editor will read through your essay several more times, leaving in-line edits, insertions, deletions, suggestions for re-arranging or re-phrasing your content, and in-line comments after each read-through.

Comments will be used to explain edits, identify key passages to workshop, highlight ways to re-structure your essay, provide helpful tips and examples to improve your writing, and leave probing questions to get you primed for your next draft.

3
Overall Notes

High-level feedback, next steps, and key areas for improvement

After reviewing all of their in-line edits and comments, re-reading your essay (as well as their comments) again from top-to-bottom, and re-adjusting their edits as needed, your editor will leave Overall Notes for you at the bottom of your document.

These Notes will highlight what you should focus on most in your next draft, key themes identified by your editor, and (where applicable) an evaluation of your draft on our proprietary admissions essay rubric.
