I took their services in July'08. I paid $1840 for 6 schools. They are very irresponsible, unprofessional and unaccountable. My first Shock was when i didn’t get the UCLA essays on time. I was waiting till last moment. Never heard from him. Didn’t' get my essays and couldn't apply to the school!!! I opened dispute with paypal, and Essaysandsop.com promised to deliver all essays on time in future. Here is the snapshot of my experience MIT - I got only half of the essays. I kept waiting for rest, but never got them YALE - never got the essays. Excuse was that they forgot. I missed the deadline. Berkeley – I Again kept massaging him to at least let me know, if he cannot deliver on time. But he never replied, never delivered. I missed he deadline again. Darden - I didn't get one of the essays. I kept waiting for it, but never got. Missed it again. Duke - Got them at last moment. Not satisfied with essays. It was very generic. Essay… You cannot make out if it’s for duke!! Kenan Flagler - Go them at last moment. Not satisfied with the quality, I didn’t use them, rather preferred to write my own at last moment. Finally I mailed paypal again. Due to their irresponsible attitude, I missed many deadlines for my application and at the verge of loosing 1 year. They definitely cannot undo he damages they have done. But would request PAYPAL, to help me get the refunds for the services they NEVER provided and would appreciate, if Paypal could flag them or take any other necessary actions to prevent future customers from getting trapped in this kind of business where they would loose money and also their valuable time. Caution! If you at all hire him or any consultant, don’t pay in advance. Ask for his phone number (he never gave me phone number even after repeated request). Verify his credentials through alumna links( All US schools directory search have hi facility). When they claim hat our essays will be reviewed by UCLA/Duke..etc admits. or claim hey have admits to particular school. Don’t trust!!!.. Ask for the name and verify!! Don’t get in the trap…and don’t loose ur valuable time and money by frauds!! Good luck!!!! I had very bad experience with essaysandsop.com. I took their services in July’08.
