Securing a position at the university or college of your choice does not depend solely upon your grades or the results of admission tests.

Student Applications - A Case Study

Yusef had been invited to apply for admission to a prestigious ivy-league university in the U.S. He had no doubt that his academic record would speak for itself but he was seriously concerned that his weak written English skills would prejudice the written personal statement that was to accompany his application package. Yusef was also concerned about the content of his statement and sought assistance with editing to ensure correct English usage and appropriate information.

The WordsRU edit was carried out by an experienced ESL editor who checked Yusef’s statement for correct grammar, punctuation, spelling, and syntax as well as typographical errors.  The editor reviewed the content of Yusef’s statement to ensure it was relevant, logical and convincing, and that the prose was fluid, clear, concise and consistent.

Student Applications Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

When you edit my personal statement, will it still sound like me?

A:

It certainly will – our editors take pride in polishing the English in documents of non-native speakers. Your document will be in correct English and of appropriate academic style but not to the extent that your own personal characteristics and style will be blanked out. You can be sure that our editing will be as unobtrusive as possible and that we work with your concepts and words only to the extent of better English usage to more clearly express what you need to convey.

Q:

I am not sure what to talk about and how much to say in my statement. Can you help?

A:

Absolutely - it is critical that personal statements be focused on the actual information required. Our editors will edit out anything that is irrelevant or repetitious, ensuring that your paper is in correct English as well as clear, concise, logical and consistent.
