Client Reviews
“When my daughter was accepted early decision by Fordham University, our excitement was tempered by our disappointment with the financial aid award. I was in a bit of a panic because I had three other kids in college and naively thought that my daughter’s strong application would be rewarded. After contacting Gary, he put my mind at ease and with his advice and assistance in preparing and pursuing my daughter’s appeal, the award was increased by almost $20,000. Over 4 years, this will be a savings of around $80,000. I wish I could do more than simply say Thank You!!”

At the time that our oldest son was ready to apply to college, we did not know where to begin. The process had become much more complicated than it had been when we applied. We knew that we needed help and the concept of hiring a college counselor was new to us. Gary eased our concerns and fears, gave us pragmatic and usable advice, helped us set realistic goals and created strategies to implement a clearly thought out plan — from selecting target schools, to preparing applications, to financial considerations and dealing with the financial aid process. We could not have gotten through the process with our sanity intact without him and our son is a very happy sophomore at Northwestern. Now our second son is going through the same process and we know that he will be just as successful with Gary at our side.

“Thank you, Gary, for guiding us through our successful financial aid appeal to Penn. With your knowledge of the process, including what is important and what is not, you gave us the tools necessary to influence a good outcome.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Gary and his expertise as a college counselor. His guidance comes from a place of thoughtfulness and extensive knowledge and I appreciate his honesty and realistic approach given the craziness that college admissions has become. Highly recommended.”
