The coaches gave great advice on writing my college essays. Coach Ariel was very helpful in guiding me to write more personal essays.

The help I got from my individual coach was very helpful for my PIQs and I feel more confident moving forward with them

The coaches did a good job of giving helpful feedback. I learned how to work through my UC and common app applications.

So grateful to all the coaches who’s helped me throughout the process of applications. A special shoutout to Coach Dollie! She helped me at the accelerator and her constructive feedback was exactly what I needed. I was able to refine my essays tremendously, and feel more confident about them :)

Thank you for all the understanding considerations. The sessions were very detailed and helped mold my PIQs and Essays to become even stronger. I’m very grateful. Thank you Coach Sarah and the rest of the Coaches and egelloC staff. Thank you again. -Ethan Lee

I can't recommend this program enough! We walked through how to approach the Common App and UC Application in detail. The coaches read over your essays and give you advice very quickly and thoroughly. For my accelerator session, I feel my essays got a lot stronger with lots of help from Coach Sarah! If you need advice on how to improve your essays or brainstorm, this program is perfect for you!

I found the Accelerator to be extremely helpful- the coaches gave me great feedback on my PIQ’s and Personal Statement essays. I was having trouble writing my essays, but after the Accelerator I feel much more confident in my essays and activity lists. Coach Art went over the Common App and UC Application which was also very helpful and I feel much more prepared for my college applications!

Coaches very direct and straightforward with what improvements they felt essays needed. Didn't write for you, but left enough key points where you felt like you knew where you were going/what to do next.

Great review, super helpful and especially helpful if you don't have anybody to talk to about your college essays. Big shout out to Coach Tony Le, gave great constructive feedback and did it super quickly, super qualified and knows what he's talking about. Overall super helpful, just wish there was a slight amount more review time with your coach! Thanks!

I attended the accelerator session this weekend and found it incredibly helpful. It was great to receive direct and personalized feedback from my coach which gave me a clearer direction on how to go about working on and editing my college essays!

I had a great experience today at Day 1 of the Accelerator event. Although I am not applying to UC schools, I was able to use today to finalize and perfect my supplemental essays. I feel satisfied as I feel ahead knowing that my supplementals and personal statement are nearing completion which will take a huge weight off my shoulders! The breakout rooms included within the session were extremely helpful as they allowed me to receive direct feedback and strategy that I could work on between the next breakout room.

It was great that I was able to separately work with a coach to fix whatever errors or problems that I ran into while writing my essays.

It was very intensive but there is a great system in place to help with apps and essays.

The coaches are very kind and patient, they genuinely listen to your concerns.

The coaches at egelloC provide extremely helpful feedback no matter what stage of your application you are on. The Accelerator is especially beneficial if applying to UC's. If you are not applying to UC's, it is still helpful, but the first day is almost fully dedicated to those schools, so you can use that time to prepare for the Common App and supplemental essays instead. Personally, I am not applying to UC's, which is why I give it 4 stars, but if I was it would definitely be a 5 star review.

The help for my essays made a difference on what admission readers would think.

My student is almost done with her college applications, just a few more private schools to submit so it seemed like a good time to write a review for College Admission Secrets. They have been an incredibly helpful resource for navigating the overwhelming college application process. The program offers well-structured guidance as long as you know where to start asking questions, from brainstorming essay topics to crafting polished applications. We are in the Blueprint program so it was nice getting their personalized approach, with detailed feedback and one-on-one coaching sessions.

I gave them a 4 star because the weekly check-ins seems excessive but I understand it is to keep the student engaged, but have noticed that my student get acknowledgement based on what she wrote so I know they read each of the weekly check-ins we submit. The roadmap call was particularly valuable, providing clear direction on what activities and academics to focus on next. I appreciated their extensive knowledge of what top colleges look for in applicants, which helped us strategically highlight strengths and achievements. The essay help did play a BIG factor in helping us with the college app process and we received an acceptance already! Super excited for my daughter!

That said, there were occasional scheduling challenges, and some resources felt more tailored to older students rather than younger ones starting early. However, the team was always willing to adjust and provide alternative suggestions when needed.

Overall, CAS is a fantastic choice for families that need help with their college application success. The expertise and support are well worth the investment!

I had an outstanding experience with College Admission Secrets! The coaches were incredibly helpful, providing invaluable assistance throughout my college application process. Their expertise in essay editing was particularly impressive; they helped me refine my personal statements and supplemental essays, ensuring that my unique voice and experiences shone through.

Moreover, their suggestions for colleges were spot-on. They took the time to understand my preferences, strengths, and career aspirations, recommending a diverse range of schools that matched my goals perfectly. The personalized approach and attention to detail made a significant difference, and I felt much more confident in my applications.

The support and dedication of the College Admission Secrets team exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking comprehensive and professional guidance in navigating the complex college admissions landscape.

The biggest thing that I was surprised about was their expertise in finding colleges for students that are the RIGHT FIT!

College admission secrets or UC college admission secrets or Tony Le coaching on Facebook are all same.

They are very disorganized. Their 1st group call was a mess, would not prefer group calls unless you are ok with competing with other parents/students to give them your personal info and give your kids info to set up accounts, that is not very organized. Second, we signed up for their blue print trial program. They advertise if you enrolled in this blue print program, you can choose any coach you want. We asked a coach we prefer. But that is not true, you will have struggle to get in their schedule every month, not worth if you don’t have a coach assigned consistently. As a parent I would like a coach who is available consistently for rest of the year or at-least few months. This figuring out things wasted our valuable time, they should have told us before we paid. I am giving 2 stars just because they gave the money back as they realized they can’t assign the coach we wanted.
