The college search and application process is stressful - not just for the high school kids, but for their entire family. We could have done all the research and essays and applications alone, but having the support of the team at College Essay Guy helped us actually enjoy this season. As parents, we were still involved in the decisions and the process, but we did not have to be the boss of deadlines and details. Our daughter loved working with Morgan and she felt confident and proud of her application. She didn't need her parents looking over her shoulder or nagging her - such good practice for college. Whenever we had a concern or question, Morgan was there to help us along. Our daughter is going to the school she was hoping for and we all think it's going to be a great fit. Thanks, College Essay Guy (not just for essays, btw)

My son was perfectly matched with his essay coach, Mahika. The two collaborated wonderfully, and her guidance made a real difference. Thanks to their partnership, my son was accepted into his top-choice school. We’re so grateful for the support and thoughtful pairing.

We made the right decision to hire CEG to support our child with his college essays. We chose their premium service, and we found it to be very well worth it.
The CEG coach guided our child through the entire process, helping to shape his thinking, offering thoughtful and critical feedback, and providing encouragement during challenging moments. Importantly, we did not intervene at all, which greatly reduced the stress of the college application process for our family.
In the end, our son was accepted to numerous excellent universities, including a top 3 school. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
At the same time, I want to offer a balanced perspective to other parents considering hiring an essay coach. College essays are only one component of the application, and top schools are extremely selective. Admissions standards at elite private schools are extremely rigorous. Even if you have strong qualifications, you can’t assume that hiring a good essay coach guarantees an admission. Thinking that way is unrealistic and also unfair to the essay coach.
Our son was also rejected or waitlisted by a few top schools, and we fully accept that as part of the process. Our coach did his best, my son did his best, but there are just too many outstanding applicants. The key is to stay composed, remain patient, and trust the process.

Tom was fantastic, and the entire experience was wonderful. College Essay Guy has a truly collaborative approach that allows each student’s unique story to shine. Beyond the outstanding results our daughter achieved, the process was smooth, supportive, and significantly less stressful than we expected.

Isaias was so generous, empathic, professional, consistent, and knowledgeable. I can’t emphasize how much I am satisfied with his work throughout this process. Susan was also amazing as my son’s counselor, super knowledgeable and generous. I am really impressed with the team and couldn’t recommend them enough!

It was extremely helpful and a great pleasure working with the whole CEG team and Morgan in particular as my son was applying to colleges for the next year. We all are so happy with the results!

I cannot recommend CEG’s resources enough! I work at a STEM-focused high school where a large portion of our students are from underrepresented populations in STEM fields and will be first generation college-going students. In years past, we have shared CEG’s free resources with our students as we begin to talk to them about the college process. They are straightforward and super helpful to our students. This year (Feb. 2026), the Director of College Counseling (Morgan) visited our school and spoke with our students about the college admissions process. The time she spent with our students was invaluable. She was so knowledgeable about the ever-changing college application and admissions process and was able to meet our students where they are, answering questions that ran the gamut from “how do I choose a college” to “how do I pay for college”. Addressing the "how do I pay" question is crucial for first-gen students to ensure they are looking at "financial fits" just as much as academic ones, and she approached this in a way that made our students trust she was looking out for their best interests. I’m a big fan of CEG and highly recommend their team to educators looking to provide high-quality guidance to their students.

Every person we engaged with at College Essay Guy was great, even our sales rep! My daughter's essay coach, Meg, was encouraging every step of the way, but also clear and firm on the next set of things that needed to be accomplished. This kept the forward momentum going and made the process feel manageable for a kid who was very, very busy. I feel like Meg brought out the best in my daughter and helped her to feel confident that it was okay to brag about herself.
Meg also became a confidant. When our daughter made the difficult decision to not apply to a college that had previously been her top choice, a decision that was not easy for her, Meg was the person who helped her feel calm and confident about it. I thought my daughter's essays were great, but it's how she felt about herself and her ability to communicate at the end of the process that was truly priceless. Watching the whole thing was pretty magical.

The essay coach was a great match for him…their interests were aligned. My son felt seen and supported and valued. The process of defining his values and goals and then writing a story showing who he is felt like a culminating experience as he stands at this transition to young adulthood.

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!

My relationship with my essay coach felt genuine and personal. Sam helped me feel like I mattered and I ended up with a college application that I was proud of.

A step by step process to completion. She couldn’t have completed it without the guide of essay coach. John took the time to get to know us, shared his college experience and recommended a college counselor which we didn’t know we needed at the time.

Taking the pressure of us (parents)!
His coach Lavon was great. My son really related to him and enjoyed their sessions. Lavon’s feedback and expertise was crucial to developing a personal, descriptive and engaging essay.

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.

My son ('25) worked with Cat on his essay. He's a very reluctant writer. She worked through ideas with him and brought details out with good questions. The essay and contents always sounded like him. They use google docs so I could watch the progress and comments made by Cat. They spent weeks honing and revising. She was also very encouraging in her feedback. The whole process really improved my son's confidence. He came out of this knowing himself better with an authentic essay, and he became a better writer. Cat also helped him word his activities in a way that made the most impact on his common app activities list. Renee's advising was also very helpful. She found an alt school that ended up being second on his list and a great backup to his #1 pick which he ultimately got into. I had been concerned about the cost, but in retrospect, it was definitely worth it. When I compare it to what others have spent on private counselors, I think we got more resources, time, and attention for the price.
I can't say enough good things about both Cat and Renee. They were both very encouraging and helpful. I also learned a lot from the Essay Guy podcast, you tube videos and web site.

Both of my daughters in year 2024 and in year 2022 used the writing coaches from College Essay Guy and we have no reservations recommending them. Both writing coaches we used were superb in terms of skills, quality, professionalism. The most important thing is they really cared for their students. We can’t say thank you enough!

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.

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.
