Set a focus for each session or get help with any aspect of the admissions process.
I will guide you on how to build and effectively present an outstanding extracurricular resume. The themed session includes an hour long meeting to discuss how to build and present your extracurricular profile and an hour of offline editing for me to give line-by-line feedback of the extracurricular resume section of your college applications.
Too many reach schools? Can't find any safeties you actually like? This is the session for you. During this themed session I will create a unique and personalized college list for you! This themed session Includes an initial 45 minute meeting to discuss your preferences, goals, and needs, two hours of offline research and list building, and a 15 minute follow up meeting to go over your personalized list.
Come for a full hour-long mock interview and then a half hour of post-interview analysis.
I will help you develop the most important part of a college application, a unique central theme. This themed session is split into three parts. The first is an hour long meeting where we will discuss how to discover, develop, and apply your unique central application theme (CAT). This will be followed by an hour of offline editing/feedback of CAT materials that I give you after our first meeting. The last part of this themed session is another hour long meeting where we discuss my edits and feedback, and we synthesize a finalized PAN/CAT for your college applications.
Need help improving your chances with waitlists and deferrals, or navigating your college decisions? This is the session for you.

“Consulting Gabe was one of the best decisions we took in my son’s college admissions process. Gabe helped us draw up a well-balanced shortlist of colleges to apply to, and walked with us through the whole process. This is what my son has to say: “Gabe is incredibly knowledgeable of the admissions process, and extremely methodical in his approach. Gabe spent quality time in getting to really understand my interests, limitations, and achievements and had me introspect and document my thoughts clearly with very specific examples, which proved invaluable for a whole gamut of essays. As I began work on my essays, Gabe provided very specific feedback on the essay’s content, organization, and style, and relentlessly went through multiple reviews until the essays were just perfect. Gabe is also extremely knowledgeable about mathematics, the major I was applying to, and was able to review arcane technical details! The result was essays that highlighted my best achievements with the right examples, and in which every single statement had a very specific purpose. Gabe is also extremely approachable and was always there to answer questions, or to prepare me for an unexpectedly scheduled interview on short notice, even though it was very late for him!” Thanks to Gabe’s guidance, my son landed an acceptance at a top mathematics program in an Ivy+ institution in an early decision round, which was his dream college. It has been such a pleasure to consult Gabe and have him guide us in this process."
Ravi S.“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"
Nikki S.“Thank you, Gabe! I wish you the best of luck wherever life takes you, and may our paths cross again one day. -Jackson Perhaes"
