Your college or graduate school application likely is one of the most important investments you will ever make. Who you work with in this process is crucial to your future. You deserve nothing short of an honest, professional and highly credentialed service.

Accordingly, we proudly adhere to the following Code of Ethics.

1. We pledge integrity throughout the process and in our working relationship with you. Integrity is first and foremost at All Star Essays. From full disclosure of our credentials and assessments to our guidance with essays and personal statements, integrity is paramount.

2. We will never use misleading testimonials to promote our services. Many companies use testimonials from their affiliate partners. These partners earn a percentage from the sales revenue derived from the seller's web site. The testimonials are invalid and unethical. We do not engage in this practice. Every one of the testimonials posted on our web site represents genuine and unsolicited feedback from our clients.

3. We provide complete disclosure of our writers' and editors' qualifications. As our name implies, our team has star-quality credentials and we are proud to acknowledge them. Moreover, we understand that you are entrusting your future to us. Therefore, you will never be matched with an unqualified mentor – even a brilliant undergraduate. Finally, we recognize that time is of the essence when it comes to writing and editing your essays. Since our writers and editors are highly experienced, you can be assured that they will quickly and skillfully critique your essays.

4. We embrace, encourage and respect your uniqueness. In order to ensure that your individuality shines through, you retain sole ownership and control over your essays. We do not subscribe to template or standardized outlines. Furthermore, though many essay companies claim to have a model of success, admissions committees can spot canned essays immediately and will quickly reject that candidate. Most importantly, such essay blueprints are unethical.

5. We guarantee your privacy. We will never sell clients' names or email addresses to other companies. We will never post any of your essays to our website or reproduce them elsewhere.

6. We will be completely honest and forthright with you. If we don't like an essay topic or find something troubling about your application, we will tell you in tactful, diplomatic terms. We will never withhold comment about anything we think you need to know. We consider it unprofessional and unethical for an essay consultant to avoid confrontation with a client, especially if the motivation for avoiding confrontation is a selfish desire to continue the consultant-client relationship.

7. We treat our writers and editors with the same professional courtesy and respect we show to our clients. We believe in a work/life balance. We do not want to overburden our staff to the point where they cannot honor our 3-day turnaround commitment. When a writer or editor tells us he or she has a full workload, we will not send them any additional clients until they notify us otherwise.

8. We will always put quality ahead of growth. Our sole focus is to provide the highest quality application essay guidance for our clients. This isn't just a question of ethics for us – it's what keeps the work fun!

   We maintain very high hiring standards. Fewer than 10% of our pre-screened editor applicants (those who met our requirement of several years of editing experience with large publishers) have been able to pass our rigorous editing test. Our writers are, similarly, the cream of the crop, selected on the basis of their publication records, writing samples, and a writing test. We do not hire writers or editors solely on the basis of what school they have attended. That approach cannot produce the high quality service that we seek to provide to our clients. Quite simply, it's not possible to assemble a large army of editors and writers and also maintain our quality. Besides, do you want to risk getting lost in the numbers? We didn't think so.
