Scorecard – Everything Econ

Please read before you use this tool

This is an automated heuristic scorecard, not admissions advice. It runs simple pattern-matching in your browser. It does not read for meaning, does not know economics, and cannot judge whether your ideas are good.

It is not a substitute for a human review. Nothing here is a guarantee of an offer, a grade, or an admissions outcome, and nothing you see below should be treated as a final judgement on your statement.

Nothing you type is saved, stored, uploaded, or sent anywhere. Everything happens in your browser and disappears when you close or refresh the page.

Your draft

Q1: Why do you want to study this course or subject?

Checks for: a specific niche, a believable origin of interest, no university flattery, forward-looking framing.

Minimum 350 characters0 characters

Q2: How have your qualifications and studies helped you prepare?

Checks for: goes beyond listing subjects, shows classroom-originated thinking, links other subjects to economics concretely.

Minimum 350 characters0 characters

Q3: What else have you done outside formal education, and why is this useful?

Checks for: each item developed (not just listed), the “why useful” half answered explicitly.

Rubric dimension scores (heuristic estimate)

These map to the same A1/A2/A5/A6 dimensions used in a full EconCoaching review. They are approximate signals from pattern-matching only, not a substitute for a human reading your statement.

What this tool cannot check

A heuristic scorecard can count characters and spot patterns. It cannot read. In particular, it cannot tell you:

Whether the economics you’ve written is actually correct. A confident, well-written definition of a model can still be wrong or hollow.
The depth or originality of your insight: whether you have something genuinely interesting to say, or are just saying the expected thing well.
Whether your statement shows real desire to study economics and fit for the course, the two things admissions tutors are actually weighing.
Whether your voice sounds like you, or like it’s been smoothed into generic “polished adult” prose.
Anything about your specific target universities, their course content, or how they’ll read your application alongside your grades and reference.

This is what a human review is for.

Want a human to actually read it?

An EconCoaching review checks the economics itself, the depth of your points, and whether your statement reads as genuinely yours, not just whether it passes a pattern check.
