On a 100-point rubric: content (30 pts), structure (25), style and voice (25), specificity (10), and grammar (10). For 150-char activity essays, we weight specificity and voice more heavily because they're where most drafts underperform.

About 30 to 60 seconds. The scorer reads the full draft, applies the rubric, and returns a score, your three biggest strengths, and the single change that would move the draft up a tier.
Is this AI scorer trained on real admissions outcomes?+
The rubric is built from patterns across successful and unsuccessful essays in our corpus. No AI scorer replaces real admissions committees, but a consistent rubric catches structural problems a friend or parent reader often misses.
Will the 150-Char Activity scorer flag the same issues a real reader would?+
For structural issues, yes, usually. For voice issues, often. For the judgment call of whether your essay resonates emotionally with a specific human reader, no AI can replace that. Pair this tool with one trusted human reader.
