“I FOUND MY INITIAL BRAINSTORMING SESSIONS WITH GINA VERY HELPFUL IN PLANNING A COHESIVE APPLICATION AND GETTING A WIDE-ANGLE VIEW OF THE WHOLE APPLICATION FROM AN EARLY STAGE. IT HELPED ME GET ADMITTED EARLY.”

“I have personally experienced Gina’s work ethic and her incredibly high level of dedication to her profession. Her energy level is unparalleled. Ms. Lee quickly became one of the most important academic leaders within [American University Preparatory School’s] new school environment…”

Read More“Gina Lee made the college admissions process simpler and better organized and helped me develop my application so that I could stand out amongst the crowd. She helped me since my freshman year, starting off with course planning and helping me enroll in classes that would me give me a competitive edge in college admissions.”
“The most helpful thing she did, however, was helping me write my Common App essay and UC essays in a compelling way. After the initial brainstorm meetings, she helped refine my Common Application essay through a total of three potential essays and eight rough drafts for my final essay. We sat and made sure every line was powerful and moving. I applied to twelve universities and was admitted into ten of them, a feat that I cannot claim full credit for. Without her help on my essays and my course planning throughout the four years in high school, my application and transcript would not have been nearly enough to qualify me for these schools, as she made sure that every month of my high school career was not spent in vain.”

“What’s great about Mrs. Lee is that she gets to know the kids she works with, and cares about matching them with schools that will be best for them. Mrs. Lee helped me identify what I wanted in a college and narrow down a list of schools where she and I thought I would thrive. With her help, I was able to strategize which activities I put my time inside and outside of school. She took things about myself which I considered ordinary, and showed me how to use them to craft a strong application. “
“Mrs. Lee is without a doubt the person to go to for guidance counseling. She is an invaluable resource to anyone looking to take their college applications to the next level.”

Gina raised 3 boys and understands teenage development very well. She guided Angela from course selection, musical competitions, sports leadership, school newspaper editing, time management, interview skills, college applications, and essay writing.”
“Gina helped Angela open the door of her dream college which she will be attending the fall of 2017. She helped relieve me of some anxiety about Angela’s college application process. I highly recommend Gina to students who are preparing to apply to selective colleges.”

Read More“Although she was helping multiple students at the same time, I never felt like I wasn’t a priority or that her focus was somewhere else. She gave me the confidence to apply to my top choices and I got into both of them on a scholarship thanks to her. Her compassion, work ethic, and expertise make for an extremely qualified college counselor that very few ever get to meet. I am almost done with my junior year and we still talk. I bring this up because not only is she a phenomenal college counselor, she is an excellent mentor and friend that you will want to keep in touch with long after the college application process.”

Read More“Gina offered a lot of really good advice and recommended me to people who were very resourceful. In addition, I liked how she gave me various suggestions for topics to write about and especially appreciated her guidance in what to do over the summer. I enjoyed Make School very much and think that it likely played an important role in my admission into Berkeley EECS.”
“I would describe Gina’s services as resourceful, wise, and realistic. She was very practical and realistic in regards to the advice she offered me.”
