How students use Tara

1

Build your application profile

Stats, ECs, school list. Skip any section, come back later. Or upload your Common App PDF and we parse it.

2

Open any essay

Schools and prompts auto-import once your list is set. Click into any school in the sidebar to see all of its essays.

3

Get inline comments + big-picture feedback

Specific edits like Google Docs comments. Big-picture take in a sidebar. No scores. No grades. Real reader notes.

What Tara doesn’t do

No chancing algorithm. No “you have a 32% shot at UCLA.” The score Tara shows is a movement indicator, useful for seeing whether an edit actually changed the read. It is not a verdict.

We don’t generate your essays. And we don’t print “add more detail” or “show don’t tell.” If a comment could be written about anybody’s essay, it doesn’t go in.
