College Advising to Get Into Your Dream School
Are you a First-Gen, Have a Dream University You Want to Attend, And Need First-Hand College Advising? Here is the Place For You!!
My name is Gabrielle I am a university student! I understand how hard it can be to want to go to your dream school without any proper guidance or resources. Throughout my experience of the college application process, I struggled to find resources that would aid my application process for out-of-state schools, debated on if taking AP or Dual Credit would be better when applying to more competitive schools, and figuring out the medium between college apps, essay writing, and school. Because of God, I got into my dream school and learned so many things along the way. I created this College Advising Business to help first-generation and first in the family students along with parents, low-income students, and any other student who desires to learn more about how they can maximize high school to help themselves when applying for college.
If you are in 8th-12 grade and have high ambitions of getting into your dream school, want to learn more about the college application process, or want to get started early visit my website or email me!
