After using College Essay Organizer, 95% found it absolutely necessary.

Our Groundbreaking Technology

Students and parents are inevitably shocked by the sheer number of college essays the applications now require. We know from years of experience how difficult it is to find these questions (think we're wrong? see for yourself!), and how important it is to organize them clearly from the beginning. So we developed a one-of-a-kind technology that no one else offers—our search tool that instantly delivers your required essay questions—providing you with all of your required essay questions for each of your colleges (updated for the current application season).

Once applicants discover all of their questions, they are overwhelmed yet again by how to get started. So, College Essay Organizer created the Essay RoadMap®, a groundbreaking algorithm that shows how your questions overlap so you can write the fewest essays possible and work smarter. Even if you are receiving help from a counselor, teacher, or parent, your Essay RoadMap® will further enhance that support, making the process even more efficient and successful. This classic tale highlights the perks of the RoadMap (if nothing else, it'll make you smile).
