Great College Advice

"I had the privilege of working with Great College advice as my university educational consultant. I cannot express my gratitude for the invaluable guidance and support I received throughout the college application process. Mark is a true expert in the field, and his dedication to getting to know students and helping them achieve their academic goals is truly worth it. Although I first met with Great College Advice over Zoom, it was evident they were committed to understanding the goals expected. They took the time to get to know me personally, including my academic interests, extracurricular activities, and long-term career aspirations. This personalized approach allowed Great College Advice to tailor their advice and recommendations to our families requirements. One of the standout qualities of Great College Advice is its ability to simplify the often daunting college application process into steps, from SAT Prep, Interview Prep, and Essay Prep. The clear roadmap outlined the path I needed to take and the deadlines I needed to meet. Furthermore, Great College Advice was always available for any questions or concerns. Their responsiveness and willingness to go the extra mile me feel valued and cared for throughout the entire process. Thanks to Mark, I not only gained admission to my top choice universities but I also secured valuable life experience during the process of applying to University."

"Choosing to work with this institution for my university application was truly a fortunate and wise decision！ As an international student applying to universities in the US, I found the process daunting, challenging, and often overwhelming. By serendipity, I connected with this organization, and the consultant I had the privilege of working with boasts decades of professional experience. He is not only a seasoned educator but also a philosopher, mentor, and friend. Throughout our initial interactions, he engaged with me on profound topics like dreams, career aspirations, and societal issues, recognizing and nurturing my talents and passions. His guidance allowed me to understand the true essence of higher education, assisting me in pinpointing institutions and majors that genuinely resonated with me. During the application process, he constantly challenged me to step out of my comfort zone, pushing the boundaries of my capabilities and potential. His unwavering encouragement played a pivotal role in my acceptance to my dream university and achieving the education I had hoped for. This journey, under his guidance, has imparted lessons that will benefit me for a lifetime. Thank you!"

"I had a phenomenal experience working with GCA. The advisor I worked with not only assisted me in discovering myself but also exhibited great skill in guiding me through the application process. Moreover, she provided me with remarkable suggestions for lesser-known colleges, one of which I ultimately attended and absolutely cherished. I am extremely grateful for their invaluable support, as without it, I would not have had such a delightful college experience."

"I reached out to three other college counseling firms before finally settling on Great College Advice. What made them stand out to me was their emphasis on developing a strong connection between counselor and student before any application preparation had even begun. By the time any writing is to be done, so many deep and reflective conversations have come about that an essay that was a meaningful and authentic reflection of my strengths and personality almost wrote itself. After almost an year of working together and finally being accepted to Dartmouth, I am convinced this process results in an application that can draw eyes to it. I was also impressed by their professionalism, commitment, availability, and care in helping me with great advice at every step along my college application. I cannot recommend their services highly enough."

"Tremendous experience. The session with the counselor at Great College Advice was excellent. We started a bit late, end of sophomore year of HS. If possible start early! The insight as to what colleges are actually looking for was perfect. The best part, as a father, I don't know what I'm talking about, but the counselor was on point and opened my son's eyes. He actually took the 'Great College Advice' to heart and ran with it. He ended up getting accepted into two great Scholars programs at excellent business schools!"
