Student & Parent Testimonials

"

The essay editing was exceptional. Insider Admissions helped me approach my supplementals and personal statement from a new angle. The edits and comments were holistic and flexible, leaving the result feeling authentic while sounding polished and compelling.

Essay Editing

"

The English sections were particularly difficult for me. My consultant broke down every grammar question and reading-comprehension paragraph into simple rules I understood, helping my English section score increase substantially. I wouldn't be where I am today without IA.

SAT Tutoring

"

My IA consultant helped me turn scattered ideas into an essay that truly reflected who I am. The final result felt authentic to my voice while presenting my story in a nuanced and compelling way. IA's personalized, efficient feedback, combined with its affordable prices, is unmatched.
