Applying to selective colleges can be a formidable undertaking for even the best students, and I know well the importance of strong essays in gaining admission. CEO simplifies the essay process by allowing students to navigate the requirements for each college more efficiently, thus providing more time to focus on writing the best essays possible. I highly recommend CEO for all college-bound students.

CEO is a revolutionary tool that really helps families with the all-important college essay process. It not only helps students write better essays, but also reduces family stress. I'm a very big fan!

CEO has allowed me to save hours of time, make student meetings more strategic, and curtail student stress and anxiety. It has empowered parents to help their kids manage multiple applications and prioritize steps. College essays will no longer dissuade students from developing a robust college list. I wholeheartedly endorse this product for any college counselors or college access professionals, as well as parents themselves.

I used CEO with many of my clients, and the system was terrific. The web tool worked exceptionally well, was truly a time-saver, and made the essay writing part of their applications perfectly manageable. I look forward to employing it with all my clients for the coming year and will continue to recommend it to my IECA colleagues so they can take advantage of the special IECA offers.

I felt it was really important that I devote my time and energy to actually writing my essays as opposed to just trying to find and organize all the different questions and figure out which essays overlapped. The huge number of essays seemed overwhelming, but CEO whittled down the topics and gave me a clear plan. Planning in advance has always been so important to me. Without this amazing site, the time needed to complete the application process would have doubled or tripled.

It took me two hours to register an account for my first college application online, search through the dozen or so pages, and finally find the essays I had to write. Then someone suggested I use the Common App to make things easier since so many schools accept it, but it turns out most colleges require supplemental essays in addition to the Common App essays. I was lost. CEO's Essay RoadMap got me back on track.

I had absolutely no idea how hard it would be to apply to college. My older brother went through this years earlier, but I figured it wouldn't be that tough for me. Wrong! The essays were definitely the toughest part of the process, and I didn't have any clue how to start them. CEO gave me all of my essay requirements, told me how to reuse them in creative ways, and helped organize me from start to finish. I would still be staring at a blank screen if it weren't for this site.

CEO helped me manage all my college essays from beginning to end. I didn't have to waste a single second searching the colleges' own applications for the hidden essay questions, and I never had to worry if I was overlooking some essay for one of the special programs I was applying to. What would have taken hours took less than two minutes with Essay QuickFinder.
