How I work
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.

While Gabe's feedback was nicely telling me to basically start over, he was right. I wasn't able to see things as clearly because I was so invested in my story. But I am so happy that I rewrote it. Thank you Gabe for being honest and giving the feedback that noone wants to hear lol. You were right!

Great feedback given by Gabe. He was very thoughtful, as well as helpful, in the overall comments and the in-line comments. He definitely pointed out issues that I had not realized previously, and gave ideas on how to improve and make my essay more impactful. Thank you very much!

Gabe has been extremely helpful to guide my son along the path to college. He is very knowledgeable about the entire process and offered invaluable advice to my son. He is supportive, flexible and always has a positive attitude and demeanor. I chose Gabe as an advisor because I felt that he was the perfect fit: almost like a big brother that my son would actually listen to, rather than just another adult telling him what to do. It worked! I am so grateful for all the guidance and support that Gabe has provided. He was really able to connect with my son and he was extremely knowledgeable about any questions or concerns that happened along the way. We are thrilled with the college that my son selected and if it wasn't for Gabe, we would not have even considered this school. Thank you Gabe for everything!
