Applying to college or graduate school?  Trying to get a child into a competitive private school?  Writing a cover letter?  Let Emily Magruder, an Open School parent and an English professor with more than 10 years of experience editing personal statements for UCLA Extension students, review your essay.   She won't just correct grammar, mechanics, and spelling; she'll offer comprehensive written comments on the overall effectiveness of your essays or letters and make concrete suggestions for improvement.

Two hours of editing in total may be used in half-hour increments -- that's up to four readings of one or more documents.
