Long essay / Personal Statement

Services for Deferred and Waitlisted Students
For students who have been deferred or waitlisted to their top choice school, reach out to AdmissionsCheckup. With years of experience under our belts, we can help you mitigate any issues that may have prevented admission.
- We will help to clarify aspects of your application that might have been unclear when you initially submitted it.
- We will catch the “red flags” that could have caused you to be waitlisted or deferred, and provide you with advice on what to do
- We will provide feedback on your application where it could have been stronger, helping you to write a more effective letter to schools where you are currently deferred or waitlisted.
Some reasons can be as simple as a flaw in the application that made it unclear for admissions committees to continue assessing your application or even that your application was not effective in highlighting what makes you a qualified candidate.
Either way, our experienced former admissions officers can help determine the areas of your application that need to be stronger. We will give you the advice you need to write a more persuasive “update letter” to your top choice school.
Have Your Application Reviewed
The former admissions officers at AdmissionsCheckup have evaluated thousands of applications. We know how to make your application stand out in a large and competitive pool of prospective students.
We will help you strengthen your application and increase your chance of admission.
