I felt my document could've been edited much more by DLA Editors & Proofers. Not enough work on editing my document for the amount I had paid. Not considering this service for the future.

Thank you for your feedback. This was a Complete Editing With Comments project submitted for our minimum fee of $25.00. No matter whether we are proofreading, editing or critiquing a document, we make only the suggestions we see will improve it. If we do not see an improvement to be made, then we will not make a suggestion. We have taken a look at your document again and cannot find anything else to recommend to improve your document.

I was in a time crunch and needed effective editing services both on content and syntax. This was exactly what I got. The service was personalized and prompt. More than all of that, I did not feel like my words were lost in the process. It felt like I was able to project what I needed to through my personal statement. Thanks!

I enjoyed working with the DLA editors. They thoroughly reviewed and edited my personal statement for my application to residency programs. DLA editors are very knowledgable regarding the criteria program directors use when evaluating personal statements. I was pleased with their professionalism, and rapid turnover for essay editing, questions, or problems that arose.

No input is given as to the structure or content of the paper. Basically the free grammar check they provide is what basically you will receive for the lowest service charge they offer. Advice: have the paper completely done and then submit it in for lowest service they provide.

Thank you for your feedback. We have taken a look back at your project and found that you selected the PS Proofreading service, which includes proofreading and word choice only. It does not include advising changes to the content or in-depth editing, which is covered under PS Revision & Critique. You can see this described on our Expert Personal Statement Services page here: http://www.dlaeditors.com/personal_statements.html. If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to let us know.

DLA helps me a lot in PS. They suggested the content and help me correct the grammar and wording. Wonderful!
