Yea I agree. Admissions consultants are often times not worth it. I’ve been using SPAM.com to review my essays, and I think using tools like these are much better.
How about using them for CV check?

Hello,

I'm a reapplicant for Stanford this year. For the essay, "What matters to you most and why," is it better to change the topic or stick with the same one? On my previous topic, I don't have much to add from last year, but a new topic would allow me to provide more value.

Truly depends on the strength of your theme. If you can develop the same theme effectively, stick to that. If you feel you can showcase a more authentic side of yourself with another theme, then switch.

I spoke with the Stanford adcom who came for the GMAC event - the only thing she highlighted was to be detailed. Make the story truly your own.

Hi, I know this is last minute, but I am still struggling with the What matters to me and Why essay, do you guys mind sharing some insights. I still don’t feel like I am hitting the brief. I have a theme in mind, and I am linking it to experiences but any thoughts you guys have might just help. Thanks in advance!
One thing that really helped me was looking at different experiences throughout my life, listing down the key points of each, and then trying to understand what motivated my actions. Maybe you could also try asking people close to you what are some things they really appreciate about you?
