I hired CEG to help my daughter write her college essays. She was assigned a high school English teacher to help her. I had expressed from the start that my daughter is a great writer, but I need someone to help her come up with a great topic and content for her essays. She struggles to talk about herself. She worked with CEG to come up with a topic that was okay, but I trusted the process. When she was done, she had her college counselor read it over before submitting, and the counselor did not like the essay at all. When I told her she worked with CEG, she was shocked. My daughter had to make numerous corrections, and in the end, the counselor did not think it was a good representation of my daughter. In the end, the essay probably hurt my daughter's chances of getting into the schools she applied to rather than helped. I regretted using CEG.

My son coach did an amazing job keeping him on track for his deadlines and very responsive for review. She made an effort to get to know him to nail his essays and make them reflect who he is. My son was really motivated jumping to the coaching sessions. THANK YOUAll the team was amazing, Nitzya, Tom , Margaret, Ashley
Our daughter's essay coach was amazing. She was incredibly kind and patient. The process clearly involved a lot of deep reflection and self-discovery. Not only did it help her craft strong college essays, but I have feeling that it will also have a lasting positive impact on her skills as a writer and on her confidence.Our college counselor was also great. She encouraged our daughter to look at schools that were not initially on her list, and that ended up being among her top choices. She was honest, thorough, responsive, and supportive the whole way through. It was invaluable to have someone to turn to with questions. Ultimately, the results were also great for us. Our daughter was accepted to 16 of the 18 schools on her list, including multiple "top 25" colleges.
I appreciated this whole experience for our daughter! It was a unique opportunity that fostered self-reflection and personal growth through writing. All of this led to her crafting authentic essays and a cohesive application story. Her mentor was a terrific fit - I am thankful for whoever helped make this fit happen. As a parent, I felt I could let go, not meddle, and trust the process. I also appreciated CEG's structured approach. They communicated clearly and provided thoughtful and timely feedback + support. Our daughter was initially matched with a different mentor who ended up leaving CEG last minute due to a job change after the process had already started. The CEG team was quick to respond and rematch - it all worked out fine!CEG's podcast is a great free resource, too!
Great insight; Elica really got to know Max so well personally; Continuous positive support and encouraging feedback on all the essays; They worked out their schedules and Elica remained very flexible and understanding. Nothing to change at all - for the next round in 2026 with Max's younger brother, Sam, we'll probably start the process a little earlier so we can hit the ground full-speed as soon as Summer 2026 begins.
Essay coach are more experience, give good ideas and suggestions and they can help students express themselves better.We are so lucky to have Candace as our essay coach. Because she was major in the same field, so she was able to give better suggestions from her experience and applied them to the essay. We couldn’t be more happy. We started the program late, she knew the deadline was tight, she worked very hard to help us catch up and met the deadline. It was incredible. We signed up for the program late, and Margaret helped expedite the process, and also she helped match a perfect essay coach for us.
I worked with College Essay Guy 3 years ago, when I was a senior rushing to complete my college applications after failing on my own as well as with another counselor (acquaintance). Although I would've liked if they offered to help with more schools (6-10 is not really enough these days), the brainstorming, the development of my narrative (happened very naturally through their exercises), the many meetings (often 2+ times a week) where we discussed feedback and ideas, and the edits were all thoughtful and had a purpose. I got into my top choice, while other people I recommended have also gotten into schools of their choice.
