Applying to college or graduate school is stressful enough before you reach the essay. Grades and test scores are already fixed by the time you apply. Recommendations are written by other people. The application essay is the one part of the file that is entirely yours, which is why it carries more weight than its word count suggests, and why so many applicants stall on it.
Assignment Masters is an academic writing company that also provides college assignment help, and our admission essay writers work on applications all year. They know what an admission committee is reading for, and they know how quickly a generic opening paragraph loses a reader who has another three hundred files to get through.
What We Write
Applications ask for more than one kind of essay, and each one has a different job:
- The main application essay. Usually 500 to 650 words, written once and sent to every school on your list. It is a personal narrative, not a resume in prose.
- Supplemental essays. The extra prompts a specific school adds. “Why this school”, “why this major”, “describe a community you belong to”. These are the ones applicants underestimate. A supplemental essay that could have been sent to any school reads as exactly that.
- Statement of purpose. Graduate and professional programs want a forward-looking document: what you intend to research, why this department, whose work you want to work near. It is closer to a research proposal than to a personal narrative.
- Graduate personal statement. Some programs ask for this instead of, or alongside, the statement of purpose. It covers the path that brought you here, including the parts that were not linear.
- Scholarship essays. Written to a funder’s criteria rather than a school’s, and judged against them directly.
- Transfer and reapplication essays. These have to explain a change without sounding like a complaint about the last place.
How the Work Goes
An admission essay cannot be produced from research the way a term paper can, because the source material is you. The process is built around that:
- Place your order and give us the prompt, the word limit, the school and program, and the deadline. Attach your resume or activity list, plus any notes, drafts or half-finished paragraphs you already have.
- A writer with a background in admission writing is assigned, and comes back with questions. The questions are the important part. Specifics are what turn a claim into a story a reader remembers.
- You get a first draft and respond to it. Tell us what is wrong, what is not you, and what you would rather emphasize. Revisions inside the policy window are covered.
- The final version comes back proofread and inside the word limit, formatted the way the application asks.
Support is available around the clock, so a question at midnight before a deadline gets an answer.
What We Do Not Promise
We do not guarantee admission. Nobody honestly can. A committee weighs your transcript, your scores, your recommendations, the shape of the applicant pool that year, and what the program happens to need. What a good essay does is make sure that the person reading your file gets an accurate picture of you rather than a vague one, and that nothing in the writing gives them a reason to stop reading.
We also do not invent achievements. Everything in the essay comes from what you tell us, because an admission essay that describes someone else is worse than no essay at all, and interviews exist.
Why Applicants Come to Us
- Writers who have done this before. Admission writing is its own genre. Our writers have academic careers behind them and have worked on applications long enough to know which openings are worn out.
- Clean copy. Grammar and syntax errors in an application essay are read as carelessness about the application itself. Every draft is proofread before it reaches you.
- On-time delivery. You choose the deadline and we deliver inside it. Application deadlines do not move, so ours do not either.
- Privacy. What you send us about yourself stays between you and the writer. Personal information is used for completing the order and nothing else.
- Discounts. Volume discounts apply automatically, and the current terms are on the discounts page.
What It Costs
The rate for an admission essay depends on the deadline you choose and the quality level you select. A ten-day deadline costs considerably less than a six-hour one, and application essays are worth ordering early anyway, because the drafting works better with time in it. Programs at the professional level, such as business, law and medical school, sit at the top quality tier. The current quote for every combination is on the prices page before you pay.
Six hours is the minimum turnaround for this type of work, and it is the wrong way to do it. Give the essay the time it needs, and both the writing and your part in it get better.

Frequently asked questions
What counts as an admission essay?
Anything an application asks you to write. The main application essay of 500 to 650 words, the supplemental prompts a school adds on top of it, the statement of purpose or personal statement a graduate program wants, a scholarship essay, a transfer essay explaining why you are moving, and the short answers that ask what you read or what you do outside class.
Can you guarantee I get in?
No, and we would be wary of any service that says otherwise. Admission decisions rest on grades, test scores, recommendations, what the program is looking for that year, and how many people applied. The essay is the one part of the file you fully control, and it is the part we can make stronger. It is not a guarantee of admission, funding or a scholarship.
How is this different from ordering a regular essay?
An admission essay is about you, so it cannot be written from research alone. We start from what you send us: your experience, the moments you want the committee to know about, the program you are applying to and why. The writer shapes that material into a piece that reads like you on your best day, rather than inventing a person who does not exist.
What should I send with the order?
The exact prompt and word limit, the school and program, your resume or activity list, a transcript summary if you have one, and any notes or false starts you have already written. Rough notes help more than you would think. If the application asks for several essays, say so up front so they can be planned as a set rather than repeating each other.
How early should I order?
As early as you can. Application essays go through drafts, and drafts need your reactions between them. Give the writer at least a few days if the deadline allows it. Rush deadlines are available and the quote for each is on the prices page.
