selling your information. scammy spammy.

as soon as they got all of my personal information, they then tell me this cost money. I think they should be upfront, before harvesting your information for the sole purpose of selling it. And yea save the we follow privacy laws bs for someone else. It use to be legal to own people. Just because something is legal doesn't mean its moral or right. disgusting.

Very good customer service

Wasn’t super clear on what their subscriptions cover but were very understanding when I told them I was not satisfied with the content of my subscription.

Helpful Essay Writing Webinar

The webinar I attended was cohesive and helpful in teaching me how to structure the format and content of my college essays. I especially appreciated the Q&A session at the end, where the host individually responded to many of the submitted questions and encouraged us in our applications of the tactics learned. I also loved the accessible recording of said webinar made available after the session. I will definitely be referring back to it as I write my upcoming scholarship and admission essays!

Its awesome to see what you could qualify for in one place instead of searching through websites only to find out that you dont qualify. I honestly thought this was a scam to get information from you but I gave it a shot and only applied for 3 scholarships and actually won 1 of them for $500, now that I know it's real I will invest more time to apply for more scholarships

The webinar is helpful and informative, as the past webinars have also been.

The webinar was great because it was informative, helpful, and easy to understand. It made the most of its runtime of an hour and the host was accommodating to the questions that were being sent. Overall, it was a useful webinar to have attended and it did its job in explaining what students should keep in mind as they're applying to colleges.
