Here's what people are saying about Esslo:
Esslo is an absolute game changer to the application essays. It doesn’t try to rewrite my work, instead giving me insightful comments, mirroring many comments made by teachers and classmates. Many have said my essay is an A+, and that it is absolutely fine to submit—not Esslo! This website is able to find a way to give helpful advice on all parts of my essay, instead of just saying it’s perfect and ready to go. This website turns good essays into GREAT essays!

I was a bit lost on getting the right feedback for my daughter’s Common App essay and supplemental essays, even engaging a family member that’s an English college professor. The reality is that everyone’s opinions are subjective. I found ESSLO through Instagram and decided to try it and purchased a monthly subscription: I hit gold! Not only is the feedback detailed but it also comes with a score -out of 10- and suggestions on how to better the essay. Now, I’m passing on the word to all of the kids I know.

I was skeptical of AI truly being able to provide solid feedback on a student's college essay or short answer. Esslo impressed me instantly. It is a game changer in allowing students to receive insightful and specific advice. It will easily level the playing field for all students seeking ways to improve, not write, their essays.

I was struggling with my Common App essay and couldn't afford expensive college application advisors/counselors. Finding Esslo was one of the best things I've ever done! It's helped me so much with writing and revising essays!
