What problem does it solve?
Converts Donald Asher’s Graduate Admissions Essays frameworks into actionable guidance for writing, critiquing, and planning graduate application essays, including program selection, deadlines, funding strategy, and letter-of-recommendation coaching.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Structured essay critique (file-based): Upload an essay file (pdf/docx/doc/txt/md/rtf) to generate a 9-section report covering RTGDQ compliance, opening type, Essay Hall of Shame audit, Academizer edits, balance, school-specific research, vague-adjective checks, prioritized fixes, and what’s working.
- Framework-based guidance (topic-based): Answer questions using Asher’s named mental models (e.g., Application Sequence, RTGDQ, Academizer, Essay Hall of Shame, epiphany opening, funding counterintuitions, letters strategy, and more), loading relevant chapter content on demand.
- On-demand chapter deep dives: Ask for specific chapters (e.g., ch05, ch07, ch09) when you need the underlying protocols and rationale.
