CEG was great for my family Thank you

My family chose the one-on-one 10 school essay support and add on college counselor support packages Essay support experience My son was matched with an essay coach who has been using the CEG program for 5 years She had the experience to know how to bring out my son s unique voice in his essays I was not involved in any of the process until my son was ready to click submit and me being able to trust a CEG expert and step away from the process was very good for my mental health I trusted the coach and could let go of feeling responsible as a parent in this application journey My son also meshed well with his essay coach and trusted her judgement He was very happy to work with an expert and have me stop talking about college constantly The CEG team has a parent questionnaire that dives into your student s personality and how they relate to others I felt with this questionnaire my son was well matched with an essay coach and this set him up for success and not frustration He really enjoyed the process He learned so much about himself College counselor experience My son s college counselor with CEG helped him build a more balanced list of schools She suggested excellent schools that were not on our radar initially She is a very good listener and was thoughtful in her comments and guidance She really understood my son and what his goals were from just a few hours of Zoom meetings I also appreciated her extra review of my son s ED application to his first choice school It was reassuring to have an experienced prior elite admissions counselor look at his application with a fresh perspective Our counselor was both realistic and encouraging She was easy to talk with and my son really appreciated her support I was not 100 sure initially that this extra support supplement package was worth the extra money but I am REALLY glad we did this addition to our package I would choose to do this again Excellent value Overall I researched several college admission support companies and I am still glad I chose CEG I really like how CEG has resources for all socioeconomic levels from free YouTube videos to full support I feel like college admissions favors wealthy families and I think it s fantastic that CEG doesn t exclude families that cannot pay full price None of my other friends have ever hired a company for support like this I live in a small town in the Midwest where nobody even applies to elite universities but I needed to take the stress of elite college applications off my plate I was able to let go and let my son and the CEG team do everything I was completely not involved in the process I just read the final product It was a healthy decision for my family and worth every penny I felt the value was great I just wanted my son to have the best guidance possible during his application process He did all the work but felt the guidance and deadlines were very valuable He s an amazing person - deep thinking hard working wants to change the world kind of human and I know he sent out his best applications to a wide range of schools with the help of the CEG team I also chose CEG because it was a TEAM - essay coach and college counselor but the almost done review done by a different person at CEG who didn t work with my son was also important to me It was great having a fresh set of eyes for a final review Thank you CEG for making this process so much smoother for my family I trusted CEG every step along the journey My son was accepted ED to an elite university His dream school came true CEG is about the process and having each student present their best self not about just acceptance letters My son s dreams did come true with the help of CEG but even if my son had had to wait for regular decision he certainly sent out a great application to all 10 schools and learned a lot about himself in the process My son was very proud of his essays CEG provided great support and it was always clear to me and my son that nothing was guaranteed except for learning about yourself your values and diving deep into what s important to you and why What great learning experience for a high school senior Thank you CEG I would choose you again and again My highest recommendation to any parents looking for college admissions support I cannot praise this company enough It made the admissions process really about my son and his goals and gave me my sanity back when I could trust CEG with the process Thank you CEG
