I will edit your college application essay or personal statement
med student, professional essay editor
About this Gig
I provide editing for college common applications and secondary essays. My feedback goes beyond the fundamental tools of writing (enhancing clarity, improving grammar, sentence structure, vocabulary, and narrative).
What I'm really best at is teaching you to bring out that "wow" factor by utilizing advanced writing techniques, evoking strong emotions, writing from the heart, and developing a genuine author's voice to share stories of personal growth.
I've reviewed over 1000 essays over the past 5 years. I'm dedicated to the highest quality feedback to help you as much as I can and have helped my students gain admission to the Ivy Leagues and most competitive programs. I've been awarded nationally for a variety of writing compositions. Please scroll through the pdf in my bio of a small sample of student testimonials. Above all, writing is my passion.
Over a million high school seniors submit college applications every year. I want to help you differentiate yourself from the noise. I want to give you feedback so you deliver an essay that's nothing short of brilliant.

FAQ
Can you share your own college application, so I can learn from it?
Yes, my goal is to help you as much as possible. On YouTube, I’ve actually shared my commonapp essay, all my secondary college essays, my resume, and dozens of videos giving tips and advice on how to complete the college application. You can see it here. https://www.youtube.com/@namanbaraya3923
What do you mean by "wow" factor? How do you bring that out in essays?
Having edited thousands of college essays, I’ve developed a keen intuition of what gives an essay its “special sauce.” I take several hours with my whiteboard and marker to digest and understand your growth story. I then map out different ways to let your unique voice and identity emerge.
What makes you different from other essay editors?
I’m more holistically focused than your average essay editor. When I’m reading your essay, my main focus will be on how we can highlight your narrative. I will of course use every editing tool at my disposal to spice up your writing, but I’m best at bringing out the best of you in your story.
What if I’m not quite ready with an essay draft?
Totally fine! Please submit an order when you’re ready with at least a first draft, no matter how good or bad you think it is. The juice is in rewriting and editing, so try your best with writing 😊 I’ve made several videos that may be a good start: https://www.youtube.com/@namanbaraya3923
What format should I submit my essay through?
Anything works – you can share a google link to your essay or share a word document. I will copy it to MS Word and send you back my feedback over through it. I will give you overarching feedback about how you can change your story, as well as line-by-line stylistic changes to your writing.
Will you write my essay?
Nope. I’m the essay editor – you’re the writer. It will be your story, your words. I will give you the direction, the feedback, the line-by-line critique, so you can write an essay that you’re proud of.
Do you do phone calls or Zoom meetings to give feedback?
I quickly realized over the past few years that my best feedback is given over written, as it takes me several readings to write, rewrite, digest, map out with my whiteboard, and leave edits. I'm not as good at giving feedback over calls, so I give all my feedback over your document through edits.
Why is there zero revisions? What if I want an extra revision?
It takes me almost a full day to leave you feedback, which is why I have to charge for extra revisions. I will leave you with writing drills, structural feedback, and line-by-line rewrites that will take you a few days to work with. What you will have hopefully at the end with a great new essay.
Can you guarantee that I get into my dream college?
I’ll be the first to say college results are unpredictable. Some of the most brilliant students I’ve worked with over the past few years have been denied their dream schools. Students I’ve worked with have been accepted to Harvard, Princeton, MIT, CMU, Stanford, state schools, and local colleges.
Can I message you for a custom order for something else?
Happy to answer all your questions over messages, but I don’t make custom orders for other tasks because I want to provide you with what I do best – essay editing. The quickest way to have me get to work with you is to submit an order on this page with your essay draft.
