Essay Feedback Add-ons: need it faster?
Get one add-on per essay you need expedited. After you pay, email hello@proboknow.org (or reply to your order email) and tell us which essay each rush is for.
24-hour turnaround, $5 per essay
12-hour turnaround, $15 per essay
If you buy fewer rushes than you have essays and don't tell us which ones, rush applies to your personal statement first, then your longest essay. If you mix 24-hour and 12-hour rushes without a preference, the 12-hour goes to the personal statement first. Rush is subject to capacity.
