Three stages, one review
Every essay goes through AI detection, foundational scoring, and prompt-specific evaluation — each stage informing the next.
AI Detection
Your essay runs through AI detection — flagged passages feed directly into your review so you know exactly what to rewrite.
Foundation Score
Scored on structure, clarity, and voice — the fundamentals every strong essay needs, regardless of program.
Statement of Purpose — Research Track
Focus Score
Evaluated against what your specific prompt asks for — each program has its own rubric matched to what committees look for.
We track AI policies across 170+ universities
Admissions rules on AI vary widely. See where your target school stands before you submit.

“GradPilot solves a huge problem that applicants have faced for years: the ability to get good, quick feedback at the lowest possible price.
Honestly? Our opinion of AI in general (GPT, Claude, etc.) is not very high—more promises than results. But GradPilot is different. We’re not sure how they did it, but it works, and we think every applicant needs to know that they have this great option available.”
