OUR ROOTS. The idea for College Essay Organizer was an outgrowth of two companies based in New York City that have distinguished themselves as leaders in the tutoring and college prep world. Daniel Stern, founder of Metro Academic Prep, and Scott Farber, founder of A-List, met through a common student years ago and joined forces with College Essay Organizer. Their shared hope was to create a suite of innovative online tools to streamline the college essay process for students across the country as they prepare for one of the biggest challenges of their lives.
OUR EXPERTISE. Daniel and Scott, along with their directors and staff, have decades of experience helping thousands of students get into the colleges of their dreams. The College Essay Organizer team includes graduates of top universities who have prestigious professional admissions backgrounds—believing, above all, that students come first. Now, with College Essay Organizer, applicants throughout the world can benefit from this cutting-edge technology aimed at providing personalized essay plans for each individual.
OUR GROUNDBREAKING SERVICES. The first and often most difficult step for college applicants is finding and organizing the essays required for all applications. So, College Essay Organizer developed a one-of-a-kind tool that no other company today offers—the Essay QuickFinder—instantly providing applicants with all of the essay requirements for each of their colleges (updated for the current admissions season).
OUR USERS. College Essay Organizer was designed for both the individual and the group user.

NY Times article written by College Essay Organizer's founder.
Once applicants discover all of their requirements, they are frequently overwhelmed by the sheer number of essays they need to write. So, College Essay Organizer created the Essay RoadMap, a unique tool that maps out the minimum number of original essays each applicant actually needs to write, categorizing each question and offering guidance on how to reuse or modify essays to fit every essay requirement. This way, applicants optimize their valuable time so they can produce winning college essays. Even if an applicant is receiving help from a guidance counselor, teacher, parent, or private tutor, the Essay RoadMap will further enhance that support, making the process even more efficient and successful.
We have always been clear about our goal:
Make the college essay process
simple, stress-free, and successful.
