About essays
Essays gives you a dedicated workspace for every personal statement, supplement and short answer. Each university's prompts are pre-loaded so you can start writing immediately, and every draft is saved as a separate version you can compare or restore.
When a draft is ready, share it with your counsellor, mentor or a trusted reviewer directly in the platform. Feedback arrives as inline comments and summary notes, keeping the conversation tied to the exact version you sent.

Questions
Can I import essays I've already written elsewhere?

Who can I request feedback from?
Any counsellor or mentor connected to your TYCHR account, plus peers you invite via a secure link.
Does the feature check grammar or plagiarism?
