Proofreading for High School Students


Why College Essay Proofreading Matters


College applications are stressful enough. Between test prep, recommendation letters, and endless forms, the last thing you need to worry about is whether your essay is clear, polished, and error-free. That's where Rewrite Club comes in.


Affordable Proofreading for High School Students


Admissions officers read thousands of essays every year. Small mistakes, unclear sentences, or awkward phrasing can distract from your story - and cost you that strong first impression. Even the best writers need an editor.


At Rewrite Club, we specialize in helping high school students transform strong drafts into essays that shine. Our goal isn't to rewrite your work; it's to sharpen your voice, correct errors, and ensure every word is working for you.


Transparent Pricing (No Hourly Clock)


We usually charge $55 per hour, but to make things simpler (and more affordable to students and families), we've introduced per-word pricing:

  • Base Rate: $.06/word
  • Launch Discount: Reduced to $.04/word for all college essays booked this season.
  • Example: A 650-word Common App essay would cost just $26 with the discount.


This way, you'll know exactly what to expect - no ticking clock, just transparent pricing.

Rewrite Club Tip:  Proofreading and editing are a collaborative process between the writer and editor. So, if you book with Rewrite Club, we will allow you to resubmit each essay up to 2 additional times to get notes, coaching, and proofreading so that you can get your essay just right.


Your story deserves to be told with clarity and impact. Don't leave your future up to a stray typo.  Send your essay to Rewrite Club today and get it back polished, professional, and ready for submission.
