Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Rewritn and how we help students improve their college application essays — without ever writing for them.

How does Rewritn's AI analysis work?

Our AI uses expert-calibrated admissions rubrics built on the same criteria that top admissions consultants use. When you submit your essay, we analyze it across multiple dimensions—authenticity, narrative structure, clarity, and insight—and score it against what admissions officers actually look for. You get detailed feedback in under 60 seconds.

Is Rewritn considered cheating?

No. Rewritn is a feedback and coaching tool, not a writing service. We never generate replacement sentences, drafts, or rewrites for students to paste in — our AI only explains what's working, what isn't, and asks questions to push your thinking. All words remain 100% your own, which is why schools can recommend us to their students.

What's the difference between AI review and human review?

AI review provides instant, comprehensive feedback on your essay's structure, tone, and alignment with successful application patterns. Human review (available in Premium) adds a personal touch—experienced admissions counselors read your essay and provide strategic advice that goes beyond what AI can offer, like helping you decide which story to tell.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Yes, absolutely. You can cancel your subscription at any time with no questions asked. If you cancel, you'll retain access until the end of your current billing period. We also offer a 7-day free trial so you can test all features before committing.

What happens to my essays after my subscription ends?

Your essay history remains accessible for 30 days after your subscription ends. During this time, you can export all your essays and feedback. After 30 days, your data is permanently deleted from our servers for your privacy.

Is my essay data secure and private?

Absolutely. We use bank-level encryption to protect your data. Your essays are never used to train our AI models, shared with third parties, or accessed by anyone except you. We're fully FERPA compliant and you can delete your data at any time.

How is Rewritn different from ChatGPT?

While ChatGPT is a general-purpose AI, Rewritn is specifically designed for college applications. Our AI understands what admissions officers look for, scores your essay against proven rubrics and provides structured feedback designed to improve your chances of admission—not just generate generic text.

What types of essays can Rewritn help with?

Rewritn supports all common application essay types: Common App personal statement, Coalition App essays, UC Personal Insight Questions, supplemental essays (Why Us, Why Major, Community), and scholarship essays. Our AI adapts its feedback based on the specific requirements of each essay type.

Our pricing is already designed to be student-friendly—just $18.99/month for unlimited reviews. We also offer special discounts for students from Title I schools and first-generation college applicants. Contact us at [email protected] with your .edu email for verification.
