Highly priced for low level at best mediocre work. Highly priced, extremely mediocre standards followed. The essays that they helped to write were criticized and called lack lustre and medicocre by three other professionals. The worst thing they made my daughter beleive she had solid essays to apply and ended up using that for all her major apps. she got rejected from her ED. We decided to revisit all materials to make sure the remaining apps can be better. This is when we got feedback from three independent college essay professionals and found the problem. She rewrote all her essays again with another persons help investing more money all during the christmas holidays. I am very upset, my daughter lost her best shot at admissions. The new essay help professional who helped my daughter works for college essay guy and also operates on his own. We found his good reviews on the tutoring website where we located him. I did not tell him that it his own companys work that he is criticising. What better proof we can get for lack of ethics and quality control by this company. All their essay helpers are different and the final quality control is just an eyewash. They never said anything rather praised all the work at the final review. I am contemplating filing a case against them for specially misguiding my daughter which cost her the first important round of opportunities. Stay away from them. Independent profesisonals are cheaper and better and you can work by the hour with them. This is a money making nexus. Don't get fooled by the large number of 5 star reviews, they are for their online resources and courses and not for their 6000 plus dollar services.

Working with CEG was the best thing I… Working with CEG was the best thing I could've done! Starting out as someone who had absolutely no idea what they wanted to write about or how to even write a college essay, CEG was able to provide me with the support to write an outstanding personal statement and supplementals, all of which I never could've written without such incredible support. This truly made such a significant impact on my college application process and I am so grateful for the CEG team for all of their help!

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.

Helping him think through and structure… Helping him think through and structure his essays as per the requirements. Helena was excellent in coordinating and responding whenever we had a query and Shira was exceptionally good with our son

Amazing program, more than a college essay tutor My son had a wonderful experience with CEG. He was a paired with a wonderful tutor who not only helped him find his voice and write beautiful, personal essays, but also helped him stay organized in the process. He is a busy kids with lots of extracurriculars and a fall sport so this was hugely helpful for fall of senior year. As a STEM focused student applying to tech and engineering schools, the writing component of the applications was the most intimidating for him. My son felt that he actually became a better writer in the process due to the one on one support and encouragement of his tutor, Harrison. The acceptance letters just keep coming! I highly, highly recommend this program.
