"We have worked with Jack for a couple of years now. As we recently finished our latest “College Counselor Training Sessions”, the feedback we received was outstanding. Our High School counselors from all over LATAM love the sessions, Jack makes sure the topics are engaging and the sessions interactive. We look forward to run these sessions again next year!"

Mirko Chiappe- GSG Education (Peru)

Everyone at GUA made the entire college application process much much easier for me, from deciding on what colleges to choose to writing all the essays! The feedback on all of my essays was incredibly helpful. I also felt really comfortable asking any questions I had throughout the process and always received a response right away. I had a great experience!

Vaneesha - University of Virginia class of 2026

Jack Shull is a living encyclopedia of university systems and application processes across all 5 continents. In my first year as a University Counselor, he has effectively been my mentor and given me timely and profound insights even regarding specific institutions. A particular highlight was when he assisted me in conducting individual interviews with Y13s. Jack is most definitely the 'go-to' for all university queries!

Oriana, Southlands International School

GUA's counseling sessions were one of the main reasons behind my success of getting into my dream university. He helped me brainstorm ideas so that I could write the perfect unique essays. He made me think in the right way. His sessions were very useful as he followed up on all my deadlines, reviewed my essays several times & we had insightful conversations about the university selection and application process. Mr Shull's counseling is the best.

Davide Quinto - CEO Italy, Elab Education Laboratory

We got to know Jack from UAL which is one of our university partners. After speaking with Jack, we decided that it will be very useful for our Counsellors to hear Jack’s perspective about university admissions. At Elab Education Laboratory we help students and parents to prepare, choose and apply to the most prestigious universities abroad.

It was a very good decision to hear from Jack more about ‘Professional Development’ and how the industry of university admissions is changing. We definitely had a good time and it was also a great opportunity for our Counsellors to share thoughts with someone who has been working with students and parents directly for so many years. Thank you Jack!

Proud Parent - Susanna Passaquindici University of Durham - Class of 2027

“Jack and Christian are professional and experienced consultants, they really helped my daughter in focusing on her potential and translating it into a successful application. They really supported her during all the application process and answered promptly to any question or doubt she had. Adding also some psychological support. In the end she received an offer from one of the best universities in the UK, so I can say she was a successful case! I highly recommend GUA!!!”

Mostafa, Student at Cornel University

“When the going got tough, Jack and Christian served as a beacon of light to guide me not only through the labyrinth that is the college admissions process, but life as well. Their dedication and experience was an invaluable asset in tackling admissions during a year like no other. As counselors, Jack and Christian remain steadfast in helping to improve the lives of every soul they come across.

Simon (Jingjang)

“Jack is an experienced expert of college application and counselling. He not only helped me refine my personal statement and supplementary essays that are key to college application, but also recommended the programs that most suit me based on his knowledge of me. Jack also helped me prepare for the interviews by conducting mock interviews with me several times. He gave valuable feedback so that I can make further improvements but at the same time encouraged me a lot to boost my confidence. “

Keyue Coco Chen - Class of 2020

“As a University Counselor, Mr Shull devoted a lot of his time, with patience and enthusiasm, to giving me valuable suggestions to improve my applications. As a friend, Mr Shull is willing to hear my voice and share his opinions. Ms Shull does me a great favor and I am grateful that I have the opportunity to know him and work under his guidance”

Proud Parent of Univeristy accepted student - class of 2017

“It was very comforting to know that someone as experienced as Mr. Shull was guiding my son through the college application process. He encouraged him to get started early and gave him invaluable advice. Mr. Shull was on a college tour with him when they visited 16 different Universities and that was when he knew that he wanted to go to NYU. My son was just offered a place at NYU class of 2017 and I’m so happy that his dream came true. Thank you Mr. Shull.”
