You are the application

Wordmuse, a conscientious mentor, will empower you to write one-of-a-kind college essays that move the reader by conveying the depth of your heart, mind, and character. However, it will not write a single word for you.

Let’s craft works of art.

Tell Wordmuse who you are

These qualities will act as colors in your palette, ones you will use to paint your portfolio of essays. If you “begin with the end in mind,” consider what combination of these qualities will convey the breadth and depth of your mind and heart to the reader. Use Wordmuse to brainstorm these qualities.

Pick your college list

By picking your colleges, you notify Wordmuse which supplemental essays – and by extension which archetypal essays – you need to complete.

Elegantly save time with archetypal essays

Depending on which colleges are on your list, complete one or more of the thirteen archetypal essays. Distribute your ten qualities across the archetypal essays so the reader gains a holistic understanding of your being; then, also distribute these archetypes efficiently across your schools.

Complete your personal statement(s)

As you complete your archetypal essays, a topic suitable for your personal statement will emerge. Emphasize your essential qualities in this essay. Use Wordmuse's specialized rubrics to give you feedback and revise effectively, as with the archetypal essays.

Research and complete your “Why” essays

Reserved for last, these are typically the most difficult essays to write. Use Wordmuse to research majors, professors, projects, labs, and classes for ample material to use in these essays.

Tie it all together

Distribute your qualities throughout every facet of your application — ten activities, five awards, and the additional information sections. Evaluate the overall strength of your application with insights targeted for specific schools.

But we know that you’re thinking...

Can Wordmuse write for me?
I can’t write a single word for you. That would rob you of the opportunity to transform your own experiences into meaningful stories for your application.
Ok, got it. I want to own my own thoughts.
That’s the spirit! Check out our 20 Theses if you want to learn more.
