What Applicants and Counselors Say
College Applicant
"The sentence-level highlights showed me exactly which lines in my 500-word common app essay sounded robotic, so I could rewrite them in my own voice."
Admissions Counselor
"Getting exact percentages for AI, mixed, and human text helped me give nuanced feedback on a student's .docx draft without making unfair assumptions."
Scholarship Applicant
"I uploaded my 2-page PDF application letter directly into the personal statement AI detector. It scanned the text clearly before my final submission."
Educational Consultant
