Scholr's document editor is built for writing application documents — SOPs, personal statements, CVs, and research proposals. The AI tools are designed to complement your writing, not replace it.
Creating a document
Go to Documents and click New document. Select "Statement of Purpose" as the document type. You can start from scratch or use a generated outline as a starting point.
Using the AI outline
Click Generate outline to produce a structured SOP draft based on your profile. The output is a skeleton — section headings with brief placeholder content drawn from your profile. Treat it as a scaffold, not a draft: replace every piece of placeholder content with your actual experiences and thinking.
The editor
The editor supports standard text formatting. Your work is saved automatically as you type. Version history is available if you want to return to an earlier state — click the version indicator in the toolbar.
AI critique
When you're ready for feedback, click Get critique. Scholr will analyse your document against the criteria that admissions committees use — research specificity, faculty fit, evidence of research capability, and clarity — and return a score and section-by-section feedback.
Use the critique to identify the weakest sections and focus your revision effort there, rather than polishing sections that are already strong.
Iteration
You can get critique multiple times as you revise. Each critique produces a new score and fresh feedback. Most strong SOPs go through three to five rounds of substantive revision before submission.
