they are good for average university but if you want to get into top university they are just not at that level, we did spend 1 on 1 service , lots of money I must say and my son did not get into any top universities of his choices - they tried to point that maybe it it because of the grade average but his grade average was very high and it was up to his essays to pass or fail and they just did not deliver the level of service or knowledge, we were very disappointed indeed.

Hi there, We were unable to confirm if you worked with our team, but if you did, we’re sorry you felt this way. We always welcome feedback to help us improve wherever possible. We actually specialize in working with students who are targeting the most selective colleges, and the majority of students who work with us successfully gain admission to selective colleges around the world. In reading your review, we realize there are some misconceptions about the role of the essay in the admissions process. The most selective colleges regularly reject students with near-perfect grades and test scores. These are no longer good indicators of a student’s admissions chances. For that reason and many others, we don’t guarantee acceptance to any particular university. There are many factors beyond having stellar college essays that are a vital part of admissions decisions to top colleges (exceptional extracurricular accomplishments, a rigorous academic course load, compelling teacher recommendations, strong test scores, etc.). It sounds like you elected to not take advantage of our college admissions counseling support services. We would have loved the opportunity to support your student beyond essays, including helping to develop a college list that reflects your son’s profile and fulfills his academic, career, and social goals. Our aim is to provide students with a variety of university options beyond just the most selective colleges. We truly hope your son has found a college that suits his ambitions and that he’s thriving there. Thanks again for your review. It serves as a reminder of the opportunity to reinforce the same expectations with other families choosing to work with us. Sandy Chief Experience Officer

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.

Good stuff. Felt like it could include more undocumented students overall.

This is a review of Ethan's Counselor Essay Course. I have used Ethan's free resources over the past 5 years as a high school counselor. These resources are amazing!!! When I transitioned to being an independent counselor, I decided to spring for the course for a fee as I had been impressed with his free materials and sought out more of his expertise; however, I didn't find there to be much in the way of additional strategies that I didn't already know from the free material. There were many more examples, and while I found these to be helpful, the strategies and frameworks are much more helpful. I know Ethan is about giving a lot away for free to make things equitable (and I support this), but if he's going to have some resources/classes for a fee, I expect to get more than examples of the strategies I was already employing with students.
