Gina was amazing in helping me find the right college for me. I went into my first session not knowing much about what I wanted in a college, just roughly what I wanted to major in. She explained and helped with the process so well that it took most of the stress out of it. I found my college and am so exited to spend the next 4 years of my life there! I would definitely recommend to anyone searching for some extra help with the college application season!
I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Gina and her services. She was extremely informative and helpful for my high school student, beginning when she was a junior, identifying the right colleges to apply to and also formulating wonderful essays, making sure all the applications were prepared correctly and providing the overall support and advice that was top notch! Gina went above and beyond with respect to research and advice, so that our daughter not only was accepted to the college of her choice, but also did it in a relatively stress-free and low pressure way.
It was wonderful working with Gina through the college application season. Scheduling appointments around other commitments was very easy and I was able to stay on track throughout the entire application process. I am very grateful to Gina for all the help I received and I would highly recommend her to any students and friends planning to apply for college.
I would 1000000% recommend Gina. She is absolutely phenomenal at what she does. I came to her extremely late to the game; senior year and I had no idea what college I was even thinking about going to. She gave me confidence, revised my essays, and helped me step by step with my college apps.
I couldn’t have done it without Gina and Teresa’s help! I started my college essay process a lot later than I should have, but Gina and Teresa worked with me to make sure I made all the deadlines for my schools and had quality work. Being a first generation college student, I did not know much about how to choose the right school for me and what aspects were important to pay attention to. Working with both of them made the essay/college search process so much easier! I would not have been able to finish as many essays/apply to as many schools as I did without Teresa and Gina‘s help! Gina was even kind enough to meet with me afterwards and help me choose between the schools I was admitted to. So grateful I had their help! Worth every penny!
Student PerspectiveGina was there through it all! I couldn’t have done it on my own when applying to colleges, especially during COVID-19. Appointments were easy to make, and worth every penny. Beyond her help, I really thought that she cared about me and gave me great suggestions on majors and career choices. She actually helped me find me a major which is a great fit and I didn’t even realize it existed. Thank you for everything Gina!Parent PerspectiveAs a parent, I did not have to do a thing. Gina had it all covered and met with my daughter regularly and helped her complete her essays and the application. I have heard other parents struggle during the application process with their children and Gina made it so easy. I would highly recommend her!
I really enjoyed working with Gina. I felt that I was getting a lot of attention and focus on my individual goals and needs for my college application process. I would recommend this for any student who needs help with their college application process.
Thank you, Gina, so much for all of your help and insight into the world of college admissions. Your research on which colleges would be a good match for my son, eased his anxiety of branching out into the unknown. Watching my son grow confident and learn how to showcase his skills, personality and talents in the applications and essays is a skill he couldn’t of perfected without you. I highly recommend you for anyone needing help with the college admissions process.
I just finished all of my college applications and I couldn’t have done it without Gina. She was super nice and helpful whenever I needed it. She also was great for keeping me on track so I was able to submit all applications early. Highly recommend!
Gina Gerrato is very professional, resourceful, and responsive. She provides unlimited options and information for potential universities.She was invaluable in assisting my son in navigating the college selection and application process. She helps keep track of all deadlines for testing and applying to schools. Her experience and insight gave my son extra confidence as he worked through the application process.Im very grateful for Gina Gerrato at Greenhaus College Consulting! I would highly recommend her services to any student or family preparing to apply for college!
It is hard to put in words what Gina did for my son. My son has ADD and naturally organization, time management, and procrastination is part of his disorder. I have worked with many individuals in this field from therapists, coaches, counselors, etc for many years. I have never met someone who cared about my son as much as Gina did. She was patient when it was really hard to be, caring, knowledgeable, and very smart. My son was so overwhelmed with this process and Gina was there for us every step of the way. Number of hours spent is not what she cares about. She just want to make sure the process is done perfectly. She gave us suggestion of colleges we did not know about. Anytime I wanted to contact her, she would respond very quickly. We felt so supported. The number of hours she spent with my son is unbelievable. I cant recommend her enough. We did the full package and it was worth every penny. In my opinion, if you choose her, it would be the best decision you would make for your son or daughter regarding applying to college.
Ive been working with Gina for almost a year now. She has made the admissions process a lot more manageable and helped me to find which major I would be best suited for, and schools that would be a great fit for me. I did not know what I wanted to study when I first met with her, and she pointed me in the right direction. I have already been accepted in colleges in January, and Im looking forward to hearing more acceptances in the spring. I highly recommend her services.
We are so very thankful for Gina! Our son excels in the STEM subjects in high school however had absolutely no idea what he wanted to study and no idea of what colleges he should apply to. Gina was extrememly helpful helping us navigate through this whole crazy process. Even after the very first meeting, our son realized he needed to shift some classes around. We are thankful that she caught that! This became a game changer! Gina helped our son through the application process (essay prompts, letters of recommendations, lists of awards/activities/experience/resume), helped us find the perfect tutor for the SAT/ACT tests as well as the SAT subject tests. Gina spent so much time getting to know our son and helped him figure out some different possibilities to choose for a major. Gina is also very knowledgeable on colleges that fit his personality and his major. Gina kept us accountable and on track. So many items to take care of and so many details. Still a pretty hectic process, but without her expertise we would have missed out on some opportunities and it would have been a huge horrible mess. I would give her more stars if I could. She helped make this process manageable and enjoyable too.
It was a pleasure working with Greenhaus College Consulting. Gina and my daughter worked virtually as we are on the east coast. The entire process was seemless and very efficient as they worked on specific tasks each week with great success. Gina showed my daughter options that we wouldnt have found on our own. I would highly recommend Greenhouse College Consulting for every step in the process.
As a former UC admissions worker, Mrs. Gerrato is a very credible and qualified consultant. Most of my sessions were scheduled around my essays and she provided me with valuable tips on how to structure my essays and revise them. On top of that, she was very patient and her services were very organized and efficient. If you are looking to apply to college or even more specifically, the UCs, I highly recommend her services.
I wholeheartedly recommend Greenhaus College Consulting! Gina is very knowledgeable, organized, and supportive to all of her students. She was instrumental in getting into my dream school, Brown University.I found out about this service late in the summer of my junior year, but Gina was extremely supportive and kept me on schedule, fitting me in every Saturday for a 2 hour appointment as well as answering whatever question I had 24/7.Gina is exceptional in her services. She is very organized and knowledgeable in her field. She had me figure out via a card game what I truly wanted in a college and suggested schools across the country that fit the criteria. She was very supportive of my high aspirations, to get into a top school, but also reminded me that I would need backup just in case, and kept me organized with a college spreadsheet. Every week, she would remind me of deadlines to submit test scores, have letters of recommendation sent, and have college applications submitted. She kept me ahead of schedule, so all of my options were open for early action and early decision schools.We helped me plan and edit essays for various schools as well as my main essay. She had very valuable insight about what colleges want to see in essays and always made sure my essays conveyed my interests, extracurriculars, and academic curiosity. She made it to where a college could see myself as a person and everything I could offer to that school in these essays.She also has connections with a lot of different colleges nationwide and visits them often. She truly knows the environment of the schools she recommends and can even get her students interviews for those schools.Gina is genuinely supportive of her students academic, extracurricular, and college goals. She truly cares about her students and makes an effort to get to know every single one personally. She would always ask me questions about my Orchestra, my Eagle Scout project, or other similar things. She was beyond welcoming and very personable and wishes the very best for her students.I was accepted to every school who contacted me before I withdrew my applications (given my early decision acceptance), many of which offered me scholarships, but I chose Brown University not only because it was my early decision school, but because it was my dream. Ginas help and support was instrumental to my success.If you or your child are college bound, no matter your circumstance, she will expedite the process significantly and give you the guidance and support necessary to achieve your dreams. Gina is worth her weight in gold with her help in the college admissions process, no matter if you are going for an Ivy, UC, or state school, no matter your background, academic aptitude, or extracurriculars. She is supportive of each and every one of her students and works very hard to ensure that they will be bound to the college of their dreams.Choosing Greenhaus College Consulting is the best decision that my family and I ever made for my college career. I highly recommend Greenhaus College Consulting.
Gina was a great college counsellor for my son. She started out by getting to know him, his personality and his potential career choices. She is always kind and takes time to listen and understand what the student wants. She has extensive knowledge of colleges nationwide and good relationships with admission reps. She kept my son organized by using Google docs for the college search process and essay writing and she had good recommendations for tutors, test prep and essay writing. We are very happy with the outcome of my sons college admission process.
There is not a counselor out there who would have worked as hard as Regina did for my son and her knowledge of the system and best schools for kids with ADD and other disabilities was priceless. She has a special gift for understanding, motivating and working with kids and her support doesnt end with college acceptance, she follows through to makes sure everything is in place, specific to each students needs, to make sure the first year is a success.
If i could give more stars to Gina, the owner of Greenhaus College Consulting, i would. She is outstanding. For any parent with a senior in high school preparing for college, Gina is a must have. I had no idea that college applications were so complicated and tedious and frankly without her, my son would in all likelihood be going to community college. i would not have known how to navigate the process with any degree of success. My son has ADD and other learning disabilities, so his grades are good, but certainly not exceptional, and his SAT scores would not have colleges knocking down his door to enlist him, but somehow Gina turned, what initially seemed hopeless, into not just hopeful, but into such incredible results that the first four colleges he applied to, he got accepted to. She is an outstanding human being also, so kind, and has a great insight into each kids needs, and what college would best suit the child based on her assessment and breath of knowledge, and she very accurately seems to tap into exactly which college will with high probability ensure success for the teen embarking on freedom for their first time.Somehow, (not sure what her magic is), can take, not superior grades or SAT scores, and work her magic on the application process and engineer a congratulations, you just got accepted letters to the aspiring college student.She is extraordinary, not only with kids with disabilities but also kids with no learning disabilities in terms of getting them into colleges of their choice, and she will give them her input if she thinks its a good fit or not for them.For any parent that has a child preparing for college, and the arduous task of the college application process, this is the company to go to, and Gina is worth every penny to so facilitate this. No better money has been spent than to hire her. Her fees are so reasonable when compared to the burden lifted and the results generated by her magic touch. She also inspires the kids to be proactive in doing what they need to do, to invest their time to do what is necessary to engineer success for their future college. I honestly can not say enough good things about this company and the owner Gina, both as a human being, and her extraordinary skill level as it pertains to this college application process.I am so grateful to her, and so is my son, she put a pep in his step, and the acceptances are still just rolling in, so she managed to take, what my son believed would be limited choices, to unlimited choices, as to his pick for a college.Helen G
The best choice we made was making her our counselor. She is very invested in the success of her students and will move mountains to guarantee her students succeed. The college application process is very difficult especially if you have a complicated story. Regina made the whole process easier. There is no one than her.
Highly recommend services.
Gina did an excellent job guiding our son through the college application process. We had an initial meeting with her where we established the college selection criteria including cost, location, size, GPA, SAT/ACT scores, and extracurricular activities. After that she met with our son on a weekly basis. They put together the list of colleges to apply to and then systematically completed the applications. She kept our son on track and provided valuable feedback on his essays. This meant we, as parents, did not have to nag and add stress to and already stressful process.Our son has been accepted to many of his top choice colleges, and the only thing that remains now is to choose which one he will go to. Gina has been amazing in this final stage as well. She has given our son contact information for students attending the colleges he is considering so he can make the most informed decision possible.We highly recommend Gina. She takes the daunting task of college applications and breaks it down into well-defined steps that lead to college admissions.
I highly recommend Greenhaus College Consulting. We consulted with Gina regarding our daughters college choices and she was incredibly helpful and informative. Our daughter is very artistic, and Gina helped us figure out the best course for her, something we werent sure how to navigate on our own. She cared about our daughter as a person, and it showed. We cannot recommend Gina and Greenhaus enough.
Gina was a really great match for my son as he began and journeyed through the college application process. She was thorough, asking him the questions that really mattered in finding schools that may offer him a course of study, environment and college experience that would interest him. Entering the process found my son, overwhelmed, confused, and not his most confident. Gina in her time with him, guided him with great care and encouragement. As the requirements of applications, essays, interviews and in my son’s case, auditions started to come full force, Gina was always calm and helped my son with staying on task. On top of the usual related things with college applications, my son had a challenging transcript from high school, having transferred from a project based school to a traditional public school his junior year.This is why it was so important to have Gina. The whole process is quite stressful for a family in my opinion. The more I was able to stay out of it and trust and let Gina do what she is best at, the better my life at home with my son was. My son was accepted to several schools. He is happy, he is much more confident and he’s ready for college.
Gina’s knowledge and expertise helped guide us through the whole overwhelming college planning process and greatly reduce our stress through this exciting but trying time. Her whole system made everything more manageable.She started by assisting my daughter define possible career paths that matched with her interests and then develop a list of universities that might be a good fit. Gina assisted with organizational skills to help manage all the details, paperwork, and important dates and deadlines for the universities she was interested in and to create a spreadsheet so that all the information was in one place. She was always available to answer questions or to just reassure us. I don’t know what we would have done without her.
I highly recommend Gina from Greenhaus Consulting for families navigating the college application process. Thanks to Ginas great counseling, my daughter will be attending UC Santa Barbara as an honors student. Although my daughter has always been an excellent student, Gina provided frank and honest insight as to the areas she was lacking in her college preparation. This inspired my daughter to take on two internships and other leadership positions at her school. These experiences enhanced her application and will open new opportunities for her after she gets to college. Gina worked closely with us to be sure she understood our financial and location considerations as she helped our daughter expand and then narrow her college list. She met with our daughter on a regular basis and helped her make steady progress on her applications and essays so that all of her applications were complete well before deadline. If you are considering hiring Greenhaus Consulting, do not hesitate. Your childs future is worth the investment!
Gina is amazing! She has helped us quite a bit. It would’ve been very difficult for us to complete this process without her help. She was able to steer my son in the right direction. Advising him on which schools would provide merit money which was very important to us. My son was accepted to many schools with her help. Having the assistance of Gina helped minimize my stress quite a bit I would definitely recommend her to other families needing help with the college process.
We hired to Gina to help our son navigate his way through the college process. Gina was just awesome. He got into University of Oregon, his first choice. She helped with him finding the right ACT tutor, filling out all the applications, everything. We couldnt have done it without her. She met with us numerous times, met with him many times, and got the job done. She is the BEST!!!
I am a transfer student and Gina was very helpful for my application process, especially with the essays. Gina gives much better insight answering these prompts than my english professors as she spends her own time learning from individual schools about what they are looking for in these essays. For me personally, these sessions have really kept me on top of things when applying for schools and kept my stress to a minimum while dealing with school. Just be sure to start early so you have ample amount time to work on applications and submit them early! I would recommend Gina to any parents, whether your student is in high school or transferring. Thank you!
Gina is truly a fantastic college counselor. We have been fortunate enough to use Gina for both of our children. The college application process is daunting for both students and parents. Gina breaks the process down into manage tasks and keeps everyone on schedule, took much of the stress out of the process. Her knowledge, resources and deep capacity for patience was key to Ivy League success for both of our children. We highly recommend Gina services!!!!
I have been working with Gina for about 10 months now and it has been a very helpful experience. I was completely unsure as to what I wanted to do for college or where to even start with applications. Gina was very supportive and patient with me. She helped me narrow down majors to decide what I wanted to do and she was very helpful with reminding me of due dates, helping with applications, dealing with technical difficulties, etc. I would highly recommend Gina for college consulting.
We landed at Ginas doorstep at Greenhaus College Consulting after a terrible experience with a pompous, unresponsive, and ineffective college consultant. We were two months from our first college deadline application and very concerned. We didnt know it at the time, but it was a blessing in disguise because it led us to Gina, and Gina is awesome! Blessed with patience and a great deal of expertise, she understands the angst that entire families go through in trying to prepare for applying to college. She is reassuring and puts your family at ease and on a clear path to decide where your child might want to study and knowing the milestones in preparing an application for those particular schools. She has a great way of being a students partner through the process, patiently walking them through the application, step-by-step, listening to who they are and their aspirations, and working together to bring the best out of the student and putting it on paper for college admissions counselors to evaluate. As parents, we generated many, many questions, and Gina was always available by telephone and email to answer them almost immediately. She very kindly focused us on the things that mattered and explained why other things that we had doubts about mattered much less. In a very short time, she helped our son get into a great top-10 engineering university nationally. Our family highly recommends Gina and Greenhaus College Consulting!
Thank you for all the help and advice you have given us, as well as the timely e-mail responses.Weve been so pleased with the guidance and support youve been giving Nathalie (and us!). You are amazing and thank goodness that I was ableto find someone like you. A genuine,sincere, and honest individual. You are a lady and a true scholar.
Great help for me and my daughter very friendly and also great results!
I recommend using her service. She is great
Gina helped me so much with the university application process. There were a lot of things that I would have missed had she not been there to help me. If I had done it on my own it would have been so stressful and much less clear but having her to help guide me through it made the biggest difference. Ive been accepted to two out of three schools and am waiting for the decision of the third. I highly recommend Gina to anyone looking to apply to schools.
I would highly recommend Gina Gerrato as a college counselor- she is very helpful, informative, and knowledgeable, and shes also very kind and sweet. I came into this process not knowing anything about where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do, and Gina helped me figure all of that out. I truly would have been lost and overwhelmed without her, and I cant thank her enough for all of her help.
My daughter struggles academically due to executive functioning issues (keeping organized, planning, holding to a schedule, etc). Her Freshman year of college, she had a 1.79 GPA after 2 Quarters, and was placed on academic probation. She had 1 Quarter to bring her GPA up to a 2.0 or risked academic suspension. We hired Gina Gerrato to assist our daughter once per week in developing a daily plan for success. Gina would face time our daughter every week, guide her through a plan, and then provide a detailed report of that plan to us (the parents). The first quarter that Gina worked with our daughter, which was Quarter #3 of the school year, our daughter earned a 2.98 term GPA, bringing her overall GPA up to 2.15, which resulted in our daughter coming off academic probation and into good standing!!! The next quarter (Q4), again with Ginas assistance, our daughter earned a 3.47 term GPA, bringing her overall GPA up to a 2.33!!! Our daughters success can be directly attributed to Ginas counseling. I would HIGHLY recommend Gina for families in similar situations!!!
Gina has been extremely helpful and is ideal for anyone who is nervous about applying to colleges. She is extremely helpful and supportive and always on top of things.
Gina was really supportive and made the whole process seem much less stressful! And she was really great at picking out a good variety of colleges that fit well with me. I would definitely recommend her as a college counselor! When I talked to my parents about colleges, it was stressful and I would end up arguing with them, but Gina was very knowledgable and it was much easier to relax about the whole process around her. Im really grateful that I had her guidance. I would have probably just applied to UCs and maybe would have had only 1 or 2 options, but because of her advice I widened the variety of colleges I applied to and now have a lot more choices. She was also really great at blocking my time out for me and helped me achieve all of my college application goals in a timely manner. Because of this, I was much more relaxed than many of my friends who waited until the deadlines for the colleges they wanted to apply for. I finished earlier and was more able to focus on school leading up to and during midterms without the added stress of college applications. Gina was absolutely amazing during the entire process and was always available to talk and give advice. With her help, I finished all my applications very early on and setting up my essays and applying seemed like a breeze! My advice for upcoming juniors would be to start early so you arent turning in your applications the day of the deadline and stressing yourself out. If theyre anything like me, theyre probably already silently stressing out about college applications up in their head, even if theyre not expressing outwardly. Its a stressful time of year during the fall with the added pressure of classes and midterms, and its easy to end up arguing about college applications. I think its important to be able to find that balance of not fighting about applications but also not letting the deadlines slide by and turning in subpar work. Plus, if you turn in your applications earlier, you also get your answers back earlier and its nice to know what your options are earlier on.
Was absolutely wonderful to my daughter and myself. She took a lot of the stress away and helped get my baby into college!!!!!!!
