Are online paid personal statement editors worth it?

<p>They can cost 20$-150$ but it looks like the edits they make are pretty deep (they refine the essay, or so they claim). Anyone have any experience with them, and know if the process pays off?</p>

<p>No. If you want help editing essays, ask an English teacher who is more than happy to help or experienced members of CC. That’s a wide range and personally I would never pay someone to edit my essay that much because colleges want to hear your own voice and can often tell when it’s been edited significantly </p>

<p>I would ask your teacher or guidance counsellor for advice. As for the online paid ones, if you have money to spare you can try it out I guess but take their advice with a grain of salt. Don’t believe everything they say because who knows what their background is.</p>
