| 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.

EssayEdge, for example, boasts "200+ Harvard-educated editors at your service." 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. |

Dear writing team,
I read the statement you sent me and was very happy with it. You included everything I requested in the
statement and made it sound original and a compelling story. You know, I had used other professional
writing companies (like essayedge and others) in the past for much higher rates but I feel that you gave
me a statement of better quality and, above all, I feel that you actually care about the quality of my
statement and work hard on it. There is no major revision/editing needed on the statement. I can take it
from here with any necessary changes. Again, thanks for your assistance. Ron
