We can’t recommend Gaby enough! As first time parents navigating the school application process, we felt completely overwhelmed and unsure of where to start. Gaby made us feel at ease. She took the time to really get to know us and our daughter, and she recommended schools that truly felt like the right fit for our family. Thanks to her support and expert interview prep, we were thrilled to be accepted to every school we applied to! We couldn’t have done it without her!

Having Gaby’s help was like having a really good friend or family member hold our hand along the way — and, we ended up with very good results. I’d hire Gaby again and would recommend her to any family who has the middle school application process in their future.

She then helped us understand the perspective of the admissions committees and what they were looking for. She gave us actionable recommendations to help us best represent ourselves and elevate our presence and our application.
PARENT OF 1ST GRADE APPLICANT
She advised on ISEE test registration and tutoring, application process, timeliness, and helped provide insight into the various schools so we knew which might be the best fit for my daughter. Gaby is very knowledgable and was a huge help. My daughter was accepted to all three schools to which she applied.
PARENT OF 7TH GRADE APPLICANT
When we decided to move from England to Los Angeles, we quickly learned that navigating the LA private school system was profoundly more complex, competitive and nuanced than we expected. We were looking for someone experienced, who would champion our kids and who understood the system inside and out. We wanted someone local who would be able to respond quickly when needed and who was professional in conduct, yet empathetic to our children and family. It seemed like a tall order, but then we met Gaby and she was wonderful.
Over the next months we narrowed down our choices to the schools which would best fit our family and kids. She walked us through the process and helped reduce our level of stress as we filled the applications. Gaby understood what the admissions teams were looking for and helped us best represent our family and children’s strengths and personality in a way that was truthful and compelling. Ultimately, our children were accepted to our preferred choice.

Our experience working with Gaby was exceptional.
Not only is Gaby a kind, warm, empathetic and lovely person (which is such a massive bonus during the very intense and often stressful application process), but she is also extremely knowledgeable, well-connected, well informed and unbelievably capable. She skillfully and expertly helps navigate and strategize the ins-and-outs of the application requirements for each different school. Gaby is truly a steady pair of hands. I never felt overwhelmed because she was pre-emptively talking us through each step, the whole way.
She is a true professional and our results were exactly what we had hoped for. We can’t recommend Gaby Fogelson more highly!
