Reviewing your Brown essay with AI.
This is the free preview of Kolly's AI essay reviewer, calibrated for college applications. Paste your draft and the preview model reads it the way an admissions officer would, scoring hook, voice, and specificity, and naming the single most important fix. The full, more powerful model lives inside the Kolly app and benchmarks your essay against accepted essays at Brown University specifically.
What Brown reads for in a college essay.
Every top school weighs essays slightly differently, but the underlying dimensions are stable: hook, voice, specificity, flow, authenticity, and conciseness. Brown readers, like their counterparts at peer schools, read fast, read tired, and form an impression in the first paragraph. The free preview on this page tells you whether your opening is doing the work it needs to do. The full model benchmarks the rest against the specific shape of Brown-admitted essays.
Preview model vs full model for Brown.
The preview is anonymous and free. It scores three of six dimensions and surfaces one critique. It is the right tool for the first two passes of a draft. The full model, available the moment you sign up free, scores all six dimensions, leaves paragraph-level annotations, generates inline rewrites in your voice, and benchmarks your essay against accepted essays at Brown. That last piece is what most generic AI essay reviewers cannot do, because they were not trained on school-specific data.
