Posted on Google Kai SooTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greg was incredibly helpful in all points of my BS/MD application journey! He gave me helpful advice and worked tirelessly with me on my essays and interview prep. Before meeting with Greg, I felt completely overwhelmed by the intense essay requirements and interviews, but he helped me distill and articulate my passions. Thanks to his expertise, I ended up getting into the BS/MD program I wanted! I am so thankful for all of his help and support and cannot recommend him enough!Posted on Google David NolandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Greg is great college councilor can rely on and stay in peace of mind. I only met him twice and he took care of the remaining with my daughter. I call him Berkeley Greg, when I got the reference from my colleague and Berkeley was in my mind and he made it real. Appreciate your guidance and support!!!Posted on Google Jacob LevinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greg, was amazing. I am saying this first hand. Greg helped me all the way through the process. I got into my dream school of USC when I didn’t think it was possible at first. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Thank you Greg.Posted on Google Arabella KimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Entering the college application cycle as a student, both I and my family were extremely lost on paths to take, ways to streamline and approach the daunting task at hand. Greg and CCC did a fantastic job of streamlining and creating my application, keeping me organised, and keeping communication smooth between I and my parents. Greg was extremely responsive and flexible to my needs and writing process, handled the technical/manual side of the app process, and kept me accountable. Entered the college app cycle with a concept of an end destination, but no idea how to get there. Greg clarified the "how", and I'm extremely excited for the myriad of opportunities ahead! Definitely recommend.Posted on Google Josh KoyfmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greg is not only a great college counselor—he is an amazing partner. Greg makes the entire process a partnership to help your voice shine and to tell your story in the most effective way. More than that, Greg brings humor and comfort to the process to help you reach your college goals!Posted on Google Rachel LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Class of 2030 here he comes! We were referred by a friend to Greg at Concierge College Consulting. Greg helped our son stay focused and on track with every step in the college application process. For us parents, he answered our questions and helped guide us as well. Our son is heading to NYU in August as an Instrumental Performance major at the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development! He is eager to start this new adventure. We would highly, highly recommend Greg and Concierge College Consulting.Posted on Google molly krupatTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Concierge College Consulting was super helpful! I got lots of great feedback on my essays, and Greg Guss helped me formulate my common application, decide exactly which schools to apply to, and overall understand the process/keep me on deadlines. Zoom meetings worked well and team was very responsive. I’m excited to hear to Northwestern University to study journalism, and was excited to have other school options, including UCLA, UC Berkeley, and UMich.
