Elite, values-driven college admissions support and educational planning/consulting for students and families.
My name is Gabriella P. Reyes. I’m a triple major graduate of Brown University, MA graduate of University College London, PhD candidate in Education, and licensed teacher. I am an independent educational consultant who guides students to college success. I work with students to plan their high school careers, conduct meaningful passion projects and research publications, and navigate the college process—from list-building and essay writing to interviews and financial aid negotiations. I aim to help students find and gain acceptance to the college that’s the right fit academically, socially, culturally, and financially.
I intentionally work with a small number of students each year to provide deeply personalized guidance—combining research and passion project development with thoughtful college advising under one roof. I strive to provide a much higher return on investment to my students than the big college consulting companies.

How Pembroke College Prep Is Different
| Pembroke College Prep | Large College Consulting Companies |
|---|---|
| True 1:1 advising with the same consultant throughout | High turnover among employees |
| Low student load to ensure depth and responsiveness | High student volume with standardized systems |
| One-stop support for passion projects, research, and applications | Research, projects, and advising often split across external vendors (meaning more fees) |
| Integrated long-term narrative building (academics, activities, essays) | Focused heavily on applications in isolation |
| Highly personalized strategy—no templates or formulaic pathways | Pre-designed frameworks and repeatable “winning” formulas |
| Direct guidance from an Ivy League graduate with extensive experience | Junior advisors or contractors may handle much of the work |
| Depth over quantity in extracurricular and research guidance | Emphasis on resume stacking and surface-level activities |
| Flexible, student-centered pacing | Rigid timelines and preset milestones |
| Limited availability by design | Open enrollment to maximize scale |
| Relationship-driven, referral-based practice | Sales-driven, marketing-heavy acquisition model |
