From Draft to Ivy-Ready

See the transformation — in hours, not weeks

Before

Original Draft

I have always been interested in science. When I was young, I liked doing experiments. In high school, I joined the science club and did more experiments. I think science is important because it helps us understand the world. I want to study biology in college because I find it interesting and I think I would be good at it.

After

Ivy-Ready

The petri dish shattered at 2 AM, scattering agar across my bedroom floor. Most teenagers would have cursed and gone to bed. I grabbed my notebook. This failed attempt to culture bioluminescent bacteria wasn't just another mess—it was data, a clue in my three-year quest to understand how marine organisms create light without heat.
