Frustrating Experience It's important to know that with the current payment structure, the flat rate is the same for 3 or 6 essays, regardless of when you start. For your best value, I would encourage signing up several months before their hard end date of 10/31. I paid in full in mid-July, with the promise my son could start right away, hoping he would get most of the work done before starting a packed senior year. While it took my son a couple weeks to get his intake forms done, several e-mail requests were required to get started with a coach, with no real work going until mid-August. The coach we got was pretty good, but despite my requests to keep it moving, dragged out the process with the other coaches reviewing the work so it wasn't done until the day the applications were due. Because of this, I wasn't able to review the essays myself before the first round were submitted. When I read them before the second round was due, I noticed a couple typos in the Common App essay. Given the cost and that this was supposed to be edited by 3 experts, I was greatly disappointed. I will say they definitely helped my son get his writing done and it was much better than it would have been otherwise, but will look to see what else is out there next time around.

CEG Turned my Interests and Curiosities into Strong and Compelling Narratives CEG was an incredibly useful service allowing me to confidently write, organize my ideas and truly dive more into my inner self (which is not easy during the stressful rush of the college application process). CEG was very hands on and allowed me to craft each narrative I told with near perfection and clarity. I was able to use CEG's resources to leverage my interests, ambitions and stories intro strong and compelling narratives which strong aided my application. I learned a tremendous amount about my self through my writing process with CEG and I highly recommend their services.

CEG made the college essay writing… CEG made the college essay writing process enjoyable and engaging. It was an opportunity to reflect on my values and my life and what I want admissions to know about me through my writing. I couldn’t recommend CEG more — not only will they lead you to formulate ideas for essays but they will also teach you things about yourself. Thank you so much, CEG!

Best Experience Possible We highly recommend College Essay Guy. Our son's counselor was able to get him to open up in a way he would not have with us, they helped keep him on a timeline and we were done before Thanksgiving and there were no parent-kid battles! The best part is that our son was accepted to his first choice school! The College Essay Guy team was fabulous.

CEG was always available CEG was always available. I mean, always. And beyond being a fun guy to talk to, he really knows how to access the core of a person and show you how to put it on paper. I could not have asked for a better person to help me!
