TurboEssay is the AI coach that drafts, scores, and refines your college application essays — one prompt at a time. Get an honest 0–10 review on every version and know exactly what to fix.
Prompts ready to go for the schools you're applying to
Most students write a draft, read it five times, and have no idea if it's working. TurboEssay gives you a measurable score, targeted feedback, and AI tools to actually fix what's weak.
A calibrated 0–10 Smart Review on every version, from Proficient to Ready — with comments pinned to the exact lines that need work.
Brainstorm questions, rewrite your story, or chat with your Turbo Counselor — all aware of your current draft, your prompt, and your word limit.
Every draft is saved as v1, v2, v3… Compare any two side by side and watch your score climb as the essay gets sharper.
TurboEssay reads your essay the way an admissions reader would and grades it on a 0–10 scale — then shows you the sentences carrying the essay and the ones dragging it down.
Whether you're staring at a blank page or polishing a near-final, the right Turbo-AI tool is one click away in the editor — and each one reads your draft before it says a word.

Each draft gets a calibrated 0–10 score with a status badge (Proficient, Ready, and beyond) plus comments pinned to specific lines. Re-evaluate any version to see whether your edits actually moved the needle.
Credits are a single, simple measure of AI work. Evaluations, story rewrites, brainstorms, and counselor chats each draw from your monthly balance. Your usage dashboard shows exactly where every credit went, broken down by essay and activity.
