GBWorth it! My husband heard about Prompt on our local public radio station, after looking into it a bit more we decided it was perfect to help our son organize his applications and write the essays. The process provided multiple places to reflect and generate ideas. The actual essay coaching was superb. Rebecca provided very thoughtful and precise feedback. The 3 school and common app package was a lot of work, including all the school specific essays. It helped to have someone besides a parent involved in the process. In the end it was worth it, he will be attending his 1st choice school in the fall, MIT!

GBAn investment that is worth every penny We used Prompt for our 2 college bound seniors and our experience was nothing but amazing. Prompt took the reins in helping my boys brainstorm, organize and polish their essays. The boys were fully engaged and we literally had to do nothing. The essays they wrote were amazing and I actually learned a lot about them! Prompt services are definitely and investment, but it was worth every penny. They helped my boys write many honors college essays, for which the were accepted into the programs, and received scholarship money. And most importantly, they were accepted to their first choice schools!

GBJust Meh. Overpriced and not a good outcome. So, for the $, the essay quality was just ok. They let my son write 2 essays on the UC common app that were not even answering the prompt. One was about a hardship and how it was academically challenging, etc. and the topic they helped him pick was not academic at all. In the end I sat with him for hours afterwords and reworked all his essays. We changed 2 completely and revised heavily the rest. For the $, I would not do it again. He got into some good schools, but I'm sure the Prompt essays would have hurt him and I'm thrilled at what we did on our own.

EGGood advice to refine your application Our son was accepted to excellent Engineering schools nationwide including Cornell, Purdue, U. Florida, Ohio State, Texas A&M, U. Illinois, among others. It was very helpful for him to device his essays, bounce ideas with the advisor and refine his writings. It was all 100% his writing but the advisor gave very good insight.

GBTrust the process, it's worth it This was a great experience. Our son got into his dream school, LSU. He was also accepted to Penn State, OU(Oklahoma), KU(Kansas), UMD(College Park). The essay writing process really helped him for other essays not associated with the college application process.
