Greg Guss at Concierge College Consulting has been a huge help in navigating the college application cycle for our son. At a time when the undergraduate landscape has been shifting so dramatically, Greg helped him craft a broad yet targeted list of schools that fit his qualifications and aspirations in the competitive Computer Science field. Greg’s guidance in helping find the right topic and theme for his Common App essay was invaluable. He’s patient, kind, thoughtful and great with students!
No matter what type of program your student is looking for, Greg has the expertise to listen to your child and support them through the ever changing and increasingly selective college admission process. Our son was admitted early action to one of his top choices and is now deciding between two really strong programs.

Greg Guss at CCC did an amazing job with helping with my essays. He made the process incredibly easy and a lot less stressful. He helped with finding topics for every single essay and made sure that they were well written and made the right edits.

Being from another country, my parents and I had no clue how to begin the college process. Thankfully, we found Greg, who taught me the ins and outs about the entire college application. What I thought was going to be a very stressful time in my life turned out to be smooth and easy under his guidance. I looked forward to my weekly meetings during which he guided me through writing my essays. His feedback was instrumental in my eventual success. I was accepted into my dream schools along with some generous scholarship offers. Greg was definitely a great return on my investment.

Greg has provided superior coaching and professionalism to our graduating son. From our initial conversation he took time to explain this challenge process and listen to our needs. We would honestly be lost without his guidance due to current college acceptance competitiveness. I have seen our son mature and develop more independence because of this. Best of all he has been accepted to most schools that we never thought were a possibility and we’re still waiting to hear back from the remaining schools. Our family is so grateful for Greg’s knowledgeable wisdom throughout this experience. We would highly recommend this investment for any high school student.

Extremely thorough with college list accumulation, every college chosen to apply to was carefully selected to match my goals and aspirations. I ended up getting into my target school, and found the application process much simpler than it seemed due to the amount of guidance I received along the way, whether it be essay writing, information filling, or deadline managing. Working with Concierge with Greg was a good experience, it has my recommendation!

I cannot say enough about Greg Guss with Concierge College Consulting. He has literally taken all of the stress out of applying to college. Our son was able to sort through a giant list of schools he created for himself and narrow his focus with Greg’s expert knowledge and experience. Greg is always available to my son via email, phone, and in person. No question is too big or too small. Our son really valued Greg’s guidance. He is personable, organized, reliable, and professional. Our son gained confidence, energy and excitement as opposed to immense stress. The best part was that using Greg totally took the process and its craziness out of our house. And the results were outstanding—acceptances from all his top schools!

Absolutely wonderful experience working with Greg. His knowledge, organizational skills, positive and creative approach, resulted in my son being accepted to almost every universities he applied to, including his top choice – UCLA.
