“Please go with CEG. The experience with this company is far more authentic, more reliable, and simply better than with anyone else. (Trust me, I tried other places.) Nothing even comes close to the attention and vast support that your child will receive with CEG. I was terrified of college apps before. Working with CEG didn’t just help me get them done— it taught me that I can tackle even the things I’m scared of, and that’s a valuable lesson that you won’t get from another company.”

hear what A few students had to say:

“The CEG team has been phenomenal in this whole process. When I approached College Essay Guy in late November, I was really distressed as the application deadlines were around the corner. Despite the late timing, the CEG team welcomed me with open arms and trudged along with me every step of the way to complete the process. It’s rare to find strangers who truly care about you and want to help you in every way possible, and I think the CEG team really challenges those stereotypes with finesse.”
— Aida, Student, University of Southern California
Working with College Essay Guy, specifically Nicole was truly fantastic. As someone who considers myself an average writer at best, I had a lot of fear when faced with the 25+ essays I had to write. CEG broke it down into manageable pieces with clear examples to inspire me and, after many rounds of feedback and revisions, I was able to write deeply personal and finely-crafted essays that showcase all the parts of myself that make me who I am.
