I have been getting so many messages from you asking me to review your essays, and I wish I could sit down with each of you and go through every draft, but there's only so many hours in a day. So I built something instead. Introducing www.culturo.io It's a web application that I created specifically for international students who need honest feedback on their essays. You paste in your essay, and it gives you detailed feedback on what's working, what's not, and how to make it stronger. Here's the thing: it's still in its trial version. That means it's not perfect yet. You might run into bugs. Something might not work the way it should. If that happens, just message me directly and let me know what went wrong. I'm actively working on improving it every day. This is just the beginning. I have so much more planned, such as school recommendations, scholarship matching, and application checklists, but I wanted to get the essay feedback tool in your hands first because I know how many of you need it right now. Give it a try: www.culturo.io

These are schools that I recommend that give full scholarships to international students for their bachelor's degrees, don't have the SAT requirement, and have a CSS Fee waiver (or give you an alternative form to fill out). - Franklin & Marshall College - Skidmore College - Denison University - Reed College - Whitman College - Pitzer college - Washington University in St. Louis - Lehigh University - Bryn Mawr - Deep Springs

This is a list of starting salaries for people graduating from these schools with a bachelor's degree, broken down by major. The list is compiled from federal College Scorecard data, PayScale's 2024 report, and school-reported figures. These figures are per year.
