"SENIORS!! Listen when I say this. You really only do get one shot, and I almost wasted mine. I was already pretty confident in my essays and was about to submit, but I used Lumi last minute just to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. It ended up catching huge red flags that I never would’ve seen. If I hadn’t upgraded and checked all my essays, I definitely would’ve regretted it, and honestly, that would've cost me way more in the long run. Hands down the best decision I made and I am thankful everyday I did."

"Everyone says they’ll 'review your essay,' but no one actually tells you what’s wrong with it. The feedback it gave me felt kinda harsh at first, but that’s what made it so useful. My final draft was completely different, and way better."

"Honestly started using Lumi at the beginning because a friend who graduated last year told me about it. Ended up using it for everything - managing my college list, keeping track of deadlines, organizing all my essays, reviewing my essays etc. My favorite feature has to be the application evaluation thing though. It showed me how my whole app looked for each school and what my strengths and weaknesses were which was really helpful. I recommend Lumi to literally everyone now. It just made the whole process way easier and I don't know what I would do without it."

"LumiSource was honestly the best thing I used for my college apps. What really made a difference for me was the Essay Review feature. It didn’t just sugarcoat things like other tools I’ve tried. The feedback was brutally honest, but that’s exactly what I needed to really improve my essays. It actually helped me make my writing better instead of just giving me vague advice. If you're struggling with your essays or are aiming for top schools, I’d 100% recommend using this."

"I submitted my first essay, got solid feedback and I thought I was chilling. But I ended up upgrading and submitting a couple more just to check and be safe, and thank God I did. A couple of my Harvard essays got completely torn apart and I ended up rewriting them. Looking back, if I had sent the originals, I don’t think I would’ve gotten in."

"I didn’t think I needed anything to help with apps at first, but once I tried Lumi it just made everything easier. I’d be switching between like 10 tabs before and now I just had everything in one spot. Definitely a huge lifesaver if you're applying to a bunch of schools. Not to mention I was obsessed with the review tools. Kept refining my essays and application till they were perfect."
