PrimeStatement is a premier academic writing service that offers assistance in composing custom-tailored personal statements and designing resumes to give you the ultimate advantage when applying— guaranteeing that you will have one of the most captivating statements/resumes in the entire entry pool.
Founded in 2009, PrimeStatement started in a local library after a tutoring session was set up to help young students discover the transformative power of words.
The company’s founders spent much of their teen years helping their fellow classmates with their school essays, and while receiving their English Literature and Creative Writing degrees, they established what eventually became known as PrimeStatement—the world’s most unique custom personal statement writing service.
FUN FACT: PrimeStatement requires ALL contributing writers to be published authors, and to have at least one degree in English. What we’re trying to say is, we don’t mess around with your future.
Getting into the school, residency or fellowship program that you want isn’t just about grades or test scores. Numbers are important, as are things like leadership, volunteering and extracurriculars.
BUT…
The admissions committee wants to see beyond those things.
They want to know who you are.
As a person.
As an aspiring doctor, or lawyer, or engineer, or Wall Street trader, or surgery resident.
What it is that drives you. That intrigues you. That comforts you.
Your numbers are important. Your work experience is important. They come first. Do your best to optimize those scores. Do your best to join whatever clubs you can. Take on any leadership position that comes your way.
And once you’ve exhausted all your energy and resources, it’s time to focus on your personal statement.
PrimeStatement is determined to help all of our clients make their marks on the world through creative storytelling. We set a standard of excellence that goes beyond the norm, and we push our clients to live up to that standard. At PrimeStatement, every journey deserves a proper story, and we’ve only succeeded when that story has found its way in front of the audience it deserves. Our sole objective is to help present you in the best light possible, and for you to carry that light with you for the rest of your career.
Most programs and universities get thousands if not tens of thousands of applicants every year. They’ve been trained to filter students by grades, by tests scores, by “gold stars.” PrimeStatement is passionate about helping applicants of all backgrounds become the best version of themselves. We envision a future whereby we remain an empowering academic consulting firm who inspires people to dig deep and unravel the narratives that make us all gladiators of life.
While enjoying an obligatory hot dog, I did not find myself thinking about the ‘all beef’ goodness that Costco boasted. I instead considered finitudes and infinitudes, unimagined uses for tubs of sour cream, the projectile motion of said tub when launched from an eighty foot shelf or maybe when pushed from a speedy cart by a scrawny seventeen year old. I contemplated the philosophical: If there exists a thirtythree ounce jar of Nutella, do we really have free will? I experienced a harsh physics lesson while observing a shopper who had no evident familiarity of inertia’s workings. With a cart filled to overflowing, she made her way towards the sloped exit, continuing to push and push while steadily losing control until the cart escaped her and went crashing into a concrete column, 52” plasma screen TV and all. Purchasing the yuletide hickory smoked ham inevitably led to a conversation between my father and me about Andrew Jackson’s controversiality. There was no questioning Old Hickory’s dedication; he was steadfast in his beliefs and pursuits – qualities I am compelled to admire, yet his morals were crooked. We both found the ham to be more likeable–and tender.
The essay goes on, and some parts are fantastic, while others are weaker. Let’s analyze the final paragraph.
My intense desire to know, to explore beyond the bounds of rational thought; this is what defines me. Costco fuels my insatiability and cultivates curiosity within me at a cellular level. Encoded to immerse myself in the unknown, I find it difficult to complacently accept the “what”; I want to hunt for the “whys” and dissect the “hows”. In essence, I subsist on discovery.
The writer here is not giving her readers any credit. They don’t TRUST the reader to come to certain conclusions on their own. This is a natural mistake for even some published authors.
While this applicant was accepted into several Ivy League Schools, and she is a fantastic writer for her young age, it is clear there is room for improvement in her essay.
Catching little things like this is the reason we are confident in coming out and saying we are the best in the world at what we do.
We focus on EVERY SINGLE WORD. Every detail matters. Every implication matters. Every instance of show versus tell matters. And it’s okay to tell sometimes, especially in more specialized personal statements, like one for residency or a fellowship. Those essays are a bit less about finding your path and a bit more focused on what precisely you bring to the table.
At the end of the day, this is a results-oriented business. We’ll put our work up against anyone. Even if we are providing assistance through constant consulting, your essay will be better than nearly, if not all, of your peers.
We guarantee it.
The specificities and idiosyncrasies of narrative style are based on each client’s journey and level of sophistication, as well as the school(s) to which he/she is applying.
However, fundamentally, we use/expect you to use descriptive and vivid imagery, direct statements and powerful verbs to convey an extraordinary amount of emotion that pushes readers deeper and deeper into your story, until they are eventually so engrossed that they’re right there in the middle of it, sitting in the passenger seat next to you. And when your car stops and your story comes to an end, they’ll exhale and know: this is someone special, someone worth meeting.
If you want us to compose your essay, please don’t worry about your level of writing/English. Many of our clients are foreigners and we make sure to tailor our writing fluency and style to their abilities so that no red flags are raised.
“My time on the farm taught me about resiliency, sacrifice, and the
responsibility of providing for others.”
“It was during those dark mornings on our farm in Iraq that the seeds
inadvertently planted in my mind would sprout into the values I would
carry with me for the rest of my life.”
This is a common example of TELL VS. SHOW.
The game here is creativity. The example of the good sentence sets us up for the rest of the essay–tonally, in terms of theme, in terms of writing ability, everything.
We know we’re about to go on a JOURNEY.
In the first sentence, we’re about to read a resume, it seems.
We want an authentic glimpse into the way your brain is WIRED. Everyone’s mind is interesting–we just have to portray how yours is.
PrimeStatement takes the time to thoroughly INVESTIGATE who you are
and how you think, leading to the development of a highly personalized,
custom-tailored essay that extends far beyond the last line of the page.
Not only does our process help the committee to truly see who you are as
an individual, but we ensure that our essays also reflect the culture of the
program to which you are applying.
If you are looking for someone to interview you, deduce the most
interesting things about your life and your journey, and develop
(or help you develop) a personal statement that will blow out 95%
of the rest of the applicant pool at the college or program of your dreams,
then choose PrimeStatement.
We believe in an organic approach to writing. PrimeStatement does not endorse templates or generic structure. When it comes to our consulting and coaching services, many of our clients grow antsy, fatigued, even annoyed. That's because we don't host pity parties or hand out completion trophies. The sole purpose of our coaching is to help you tell a gripping story worthy of your candidacy. So we don't rest or celebrate in the middle. Only at the end.
Sometimes it is the most ordinary things in our lives that make us interesting to admissions committees. Coming up with a proper theme that encapsulates your entire journey may seem insurmountable, but who said it'd be easy?
Once we've explored personlized themes, a number of "aha" moments will begin sparking within us. Everything will start clicking into place--theme, plot, the peaks and valleys of your expedition.
Ideas are cheap. It's the execution that counts. Writing is one of the most challenging, solitary experiences for any person, and putting all the thoughts you've conjured into poetic structure is even tougher. But we're here to help.

I chose the Gold Admission Package and I not only got into my dream school but I got so much scholarship money, and a lot of scholarships are based around essays. When I thought I hit a home run with a draft, they’d bring me back to reality and say no, you’re not done yet. That’s what I like. They don’t toot your own horn until you deserve it. They do have services where you can have your essay written but I wanted to write my own. I plan on getting a degree in the sciences after college, so I'll be back for sure.
As someone who's always been obsessed with educaiton, I’ve been using tutors since I was young. And as a chemistry major and someone who is pursuing teaching in the sciences, writing was never my strong suit. I went for the Platinum Package, and the process really taught me how to reflect on seemingly meaningless moments of my life and realize how they shaped me into the person I am today. For that, and for all the schools PrimeStatement helped me get in to, I am most grateful.
Primestatement helped with one of my friend’s personal statements and it was amazing. After that so many kids at my school were coming to them and all the essays were different and great in their own right. They really let you find your voice, but they're also very strict. It seems like they're being way too detailed at first, but you understand why when they're done. I can honestly say I became a better writer working with them over 1 week than I did taking AP Literature for 5 months in high school.
This is the most sophisticated admissions writing service on the market. I did my research and was not impressed with some of the samples out there. They offer to write it for you, but I wanted to go through the critique service instead. They critiqued all my personal statements and supplement questions multiple times. I could tell they truly cared about my goals and my future. I am really interested in having them help me with my resume and cover letter when I get ready to apply for jobs.
The first service I tried for my residency was dlaeditors. They offer a money back guarantee if you don’t get matched, which is great. Unfortunately, I wasn’t matched. I knew it’d be harder since I was studying in the Caribbean. I tried residencypersonalstatements next and also did not match. I heard about this service and the difference in the statements was night and day. It made me think those other services use some kind of generic templates. I'll only go to one place from now on for stuff like this.
The personal statement is the make or break element of a law school application. I sought out a consultant to help me generate ideas. I spent a few thousand for great guidance, but not a head-turning personal statement. I found an ad for PrimeStatement on craigslist, and after speaking with the writer, I decided to give it a try. I went with the Gold Admissions Package because I didn't feel right having a statement written for me. With this package, they're like a personal coach, and they don't stop. It's crazy.
This service helped me get accepted into many of the schools on my list. My original essay was okay but I was having trouble expressing what I wanted to say visually. The consulting style really struck a cord in me, and several drafts later I had something that got me into UCLA. I am proud of the work I did and I honestly love the writer I am now. I didn't really think I could enjoy writing so much but when you're doing it to reflect on your own life and your stories, it has a different ring to it and it becomes exciting!
As an aspiring orthopedic surgeon and knowing the type of competition I was up against, I didn’t want to take any chances with my personal statement. I was referred here hrough a colleague who used the service for both med and residency. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I was accepted to the fellowship I was aiming for, which set me up for the rest of my career. Most doctors aren't the best writers. I worked for 15 years to get to this position, and I wasn't going to take any chances.
The word play is amazing. The ability to create flow with all the themes is out of this world. Most business essays I read, even in those books that are titled "The Best MBA Personal Statements Ever Written," were nothing compared to mine. I am a numbers girl, and I'm very good at what I do. But I can't write. I won't ever have to write for what I'm pursuing. At least not this type of writing. But I do have stories, a lot of them. PrimeStatement just helped me get them out of my head and onto the page in riveting fashion.
If you're wondering what exactly happens after you send out your application, look no further. There is a structured step-by-step procedure on how exactly everything is judged, and then at some point, when the best candidates are wittled down, subjectivity takes over.
Your grades, test scores, activities, letters of rec, work experience, CV (in some cases) and essays are all filtered through a screening system. Low marks are often disqualified.
The admissions committee carefully reviews applications, advancing some to the second, and third stages. Over the course of days, weeks, months, they settle on a narrow pool.
Each committee member voices their opinion during rounds that are neck-and-neck. At this stage, every candidate has something to offer. The unlucky ones go into a waitlist pile.
You can view your acceptance, rejection, or waitlist decision either online, or wait for it in the mail. Often times, if acepted, you will get a large packet in the mail with lots of information.
One thing that many students don't realize is that education or any program--especially an elite one--is extremely expensive. Schools are a business. Never forget this.
