| Yet this could not be further than the truth. An examination of search engine results for the relevant key terms reveals that only a very small percentage of students going to graduate school use an SOP service. Furthermore, according to these statistics, most of those who do a key word search on 'statement of purpose' are really looking only for a few samples to review prior to writing and editing their own essay. Essayedge's boast of "200 plus Harvard educated editors" is ridiculous when one stops to think about it, an insult to your intelligence. Why Harvard? Are not people educated at Princeton, Yale, or Berkeley capable of being good SOP editors? Do these 200 plus editors have graduate degrees? They do not say. Can someone who has never even went through the graduate school application process themselves help others who are doing so? And if these Harvard educated editors do have graduate degrees from Harvard, doesn't it make you wonder why it is that they devote themselves to editing SOPs instead of doing what they were educated to do? Essayedge's service reaks of inflated rhetoric and is meant to sway the potentially impulsive buyer who is legitimately preoccupied with the quality of their SOP and who is unaware of the alternatives to EssayEdge.com. Essayedge has a very professional website, as does Accepted, yet this should give the thinking person pause to contemplate the extent to which this truly indicates the quality of what they are going to provide for you in terms of human creativity for your SOP. |

| Price Comparison With Our Competition |
| Below are side by side comparisons of my prices with those of my two foremost competitors, accepted.com and essayedge.com in consortium with statementofpurpose.com. Here at statementsofpurpose.com (plural), I am the little guy (some of my clients have actually referred to me that way). I do all of the final revisions myself. So you can rest assured that your Statement will be state-of-the-art. Here, you know who you are working with, what kind of person I am, and what kind of principles that I have. The "little guy" is also often used as a euphemism for 'cheap', as well, which is entirely true in my case as you see here. I deeply resent, however, the suggestion that my clients suffer a lower quality of service despite our relatively economical prices for the same services offered by my more expensive competitors. The fact that we work longer hours for less money than our major competition does not bother us because this is balanced by the pleasure of choosing the high moral ground and actually caring about our clients in terms that go beyond money. This is why we are proud to provide anonymous samples of our work to our potential clients here on our web site. |

What I find most provocative from a critical look at www.essayedge.com is the fact that they unabashedly have three different categories of quality for their service.
This gives one the distinct impression that if one pays more money, one gets a better editing job of their essay. In my case, however, I do everything that I possibly
can to make each essay as powerful as possible, all at the same price. And, since I work very hard and keep my projects up to date, generally finishing my work for
one client within 48 hours of payment, I am free to provide rapid service to the next client and can do so without charging clients for an additional rush price.
My clients tell me that they are attracted to my service because of my honesty and sincerity and the fact that I clearly care about performing at the highest level of
quality possible for each and every one of my clients.

My service is designed to represent a certain vindication of idealism even in the anonymous world of the Internet. I struggle to inspire those students who use my
service to reach out in terms of humanitarian motifs and to express this in their SOP, to assert their desire to do more in life than become financially successful;
rather, taking a more holistic approach to life that includes a profound concern with making a social contribution to one's community on both global and local levels.
Those who take advantage of my service are usually those who have a concern for social justice and think in progressive terms about how to go about addressing
the manifold areas in which we are in need of improvement as a species, on economic, political, and material levels.

| We do not charge a rush fee. Rather, we struggle every day, 7 days a week, to give all of my clients the best and quickest service possible. My service has become quite popular since the quality of my work is very high and my prices quite reasonable as compared with most of my competitors. As a result, along with the fact that I am a one-man show and do all of the work myself from start to finish, I am able to provide prompt attention only to those clients who have already paid for my services. I almost always have a backlog of well over one week for responding to those interested parties who have not yet paid my fee. This is especially true during my busiest months of the year (September through March). In short, I attend to my clients in the order in which they have paid my fee here on my web site. After you have made your payment you will be redirected to my thank you page, where you will be invited to make a note of my cell phone number so that you can get in touch with me with any further questions that you might have. Please do not try to give me information about yourself that is relevant for your Statement over the phone since I need this in text form in order to include in your Statement. But you can feel free to call me to verify when I think that I will be able to send the draft for your review, for example. After making the payment, if you think of additional information that you would like to include in your statement and share it with me, please do so in an email message so that I will have that text to add to your file. If your limit is in pages rather than number of words, the font can sometimes be reduced to 11 rather than 12 unless the directions specify 12. In a similar way, in some cases, the spacing can be reduced if necessary to 1.5 rather than double, again, unless specified otherwise (at no extra charge). I will let you know if I think this is advisable in your case. I use www.paypal.com. If you pay now, and you are available tomorrow to answer my questions by email, then I can almost always complete your Personal Statement of Purpose within 3 days from the time that you pay online, perhaps even sooner, just fill out the form with sufficient detail, and be sure to submit the information by clicking on the "Send Feedback" button. Sending me a resume or CV is also very helpful. Please note that you do not need to register or open an account with paypal or become a member of the service, all you need to do is follow the link next to the credit card icons that says 'continue' to pay with your credit card. |
| We can almost always send an initial draft for your review within 72 hours of the time that you make the payment here on our web site. The longer the Statement, naturally, the longer it takes. If you are available to answer any interview questions that I might have by email, then I can almost always finish your essay within no more than 3 days from the time that you make the payment on my web site and provide us with the information that we need. This is one of the great advantages of my service, that I provide rapid, timely service without asking clients for a rush fee. If you want changes made to the document that we send you, you must make the changes yourself if you want a free, final revision. Otherwise, you must pay for the revision. |
| Please note: If you already have a draft of the appropriate length, and you just want to have it revised by an expert, we have a special offer--until the 1st of September--of only 10 cents per word. Ask us about it online! Sometimes, we can do it right away and send it back to you within the hour. |

By now, all of this material is likely to have been listed by academic and commercial anti-plagiarism programs used by many admissions committees to judge the authenticity of Personal Statements for graduate and professional programs.

This is designed to give the impression that this business is enormous, with a large percentage of graduate school candidates using a service to produce their SOP. |
