About

Hi! I recently graduated with College Honors from UCLA where I double majored in mathematics and geography. Over the past six years I have guided over 75 students and their families through the admissions process from start to finish. I have helped my students gain admission to universities such as MIT, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Duke, Rice, NYU, Cornell, Vanderbilt, Carnegie Mellon, Georgia Tech, the University of Michigan, UT Austin, UCSD, UCSB, UCI, as well as many others! When I applied to college, I was admitted to a number of selective programs, like UCSB's College of Creative Studies, and was nominated for prestigious scholarships like UC Berkeley's Regents and Chancellor's Scholarship. In my free time I love to do mathematical research, play baseball, surf, cook, and travel the world.

My process

I help my students create outstanding and successful applications by tailoring my advising to each student's goals and needs. I have helped my students gain admission to the most selective universities, programs, and scholarships by helping them create thematic applications that highlight their unique character through a holistic approach. I use both quantitative and qualitative metrics to help students develop authentic applications that make them stand out to admissions officers.

I provide advising that ranges from specific, targeted guidance for discrete components of the admissions process, such as school lists, personal statements, and interview preparation, to comprehensive advising that covers every aspect of the admissions process from start to finish. Whether I am advising on the whole admissions process or a specific part, I guide my students through every level, from the broad themes to the finest details. I help students develop and position each part of their application in a way that lends something to their overall narrative while also rigorously focusing on the finer points that will set their applications apart from the crowd.

I firmly believe that students do their best work when they are comfortable, so I actively work to make the admissions process as exciting and stress-free as possible by helping students manage their approach to their applications and gain perspective on their admissions process.

“The session was very helpful and gave us an overview of what would be required going forward. Gabe's insights in understanding the requirements for an applicant seeking a math major were especially helpful. Look forward to working with Gabe once we settle on a package that works for us."

“If there was any word that I could use to describe my experience with Gabe, it would be WOW! Gabe, I can't thank you enough for all of help you provided me. You explained what the schools are looking for, provided me with constructive feedback and ideas to improve my essay, and you stayed with me each step of the way until my application was submitted. In the end, I had an essay that truly reflected who I am as a person and as a future university student. After I submitted all of my applications, I took a moment to reflect on what I and my family had went through. The application process is tough. For those of us who are doing it for the first time, it's overwhelming. Please take my advice...reach out to Gabe for help. I promise you that you will be glad you did. Gabe, I couldn't have done this without you. Sincerely, Nikki"
