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.

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!

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.

My daughter worked with Greg on her essays for Stanford, Princeton and UCLA. In each case, he provided amazing feedback and insight to help made her essays personal and powerful. Although she may have gotten in without his help, Greg’s editing and writing skills helped her get in to all of her dreams schools.

The college admittance process is so confusing, investing in a college counselor was the best decision we could have made during this time. it took the pressure off us as parents, but most importantly took the stress off of our son. Greg was available to him whenever he needed, either in person or by phone/text. Greg helped him navigate the process step by step, professionally edited his essays and gave him a solid list of top and back up schools to apply for. Thank you Greg for helping to make the college process a more pleasant experience for us and our son.

Greg was such a great help during the entire college decision process. From helping me decide what school would set me up best for my intended career after graduating, to giving me advice regarding how to financially maneuver the rising cost of an undergraduate education. Additionally, he is still helping me edit my essays for scholarships as a rising freshman in college which has been invaluable.

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!

We are so happy we chose Greg Guss at Concierge College Consulting as our son’s college advisor. He truly exceeded our expectations. From our initial call, Greg made us feel at ease. We had endless questions and concerns as first-timers trying to navigate the college application process, and Greg listened and offered great advice. While our son knew that he wanted to be a business major, he really needed expert guidance on building a list of schools, writing a compelling Common App essay, and presenting himself as the strongest applicant possible. Greg was there every step of the way and worked with our son over an extended period to formulate and edit his essays, which ended up being fantastic. He really got to know our son and understand what motivated him and excited him. And best of all, our son found Greg really easy to work with and ended up being accepted to many top schools. Thank you, Greg!

Greg was immensely helpful to our daughter throughout the college application process. Working with him directly, gave her ownership in the process of researching colleges, preparing her essays, and completing all applications in a timely manner. With Greg’s help, our daughter got through what can be an extremely stressful process with confidence and well ahead of schedule! A HUGE plus is that Greg has visited practically EVERY campus and has a knack for getting to know your student and steering them in the right direction! Also worth mentioning is the positive impact of his services on our family. My husband and I were able to take a back seat while the two of them worked together to assess and fulfill our daughter’s dreams.
