"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!

Gabriel (Miami USA) - IE University

"My goal from the outset of the application process was simple: to have several options among top institutions and the freedom to choose where I would go. Thanks to the unwavering support of the Global University Advisors team, especially Jack and Christian I was able to achieve exactly that. Their expertise and encouragement gave me the clarity and confidence to put forward the strongest version of myself by way of my applications."

Anant Jethwani -(Cairo Egypt) Accepted into Bocconi, King's College, and University of Chicago

"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!

Elizabeth Ollerhead - Abaarso School of Science & Technology, Somaliland

“Abaarso School of Science & Technology recently worked with Global Uni Advisors through the fall university application cycle. From the first meeting, Jack and Christian showed that they genuinely wanted to understand our school’s programming and our mission as well as each individual student to best support us. They didn’t simply provide generic advice, but tailored it to our school’s culture and the specific challenges our students face. 

What stood out the most was their comprehensive approach in covering both the day-to-day support for the college counseling, pathway advising, essay writing, etc. and also providing recommendations and feedback on some big-picture policies, procedures and programs our school has been reviewing and launching. 

Their responsiveness and genuine care for truly making a difference for Abaarso was felt by everyone they interacted with- from students they provided essay feedback to, to the school administrators who had conversation with them about a variety of programs.”

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. “

Student from St. Stephens in Rome - University Pennsylvania

It has been a wonderful experience working with GUA on my college application process. Mr. Shull has helped me a lot throughout the process, whether it was coming up with a college list, or reviewing my college essays, and giving me advice on which order to apply to the schools. Christian and Ronan have all really helped me with constructing my CV and working with me to complete my many college essays and supplements. Throughout this process I have developed a better understanding of myself and what I hope to achieve in the future. I am grateful for all the help I received from GUA!

Njegos - Serbia HMC - Projects scholarship program (University Notre Dame - 100% Scholarship)

First, I must add that Global University Advisors offered me their services pro-bono through my HMC scholarship program, helping deprived talented students from Eastern Europe, which shows how caring and philanthropic they are. My cooperation with Chris and Jack was immaculate ever since the early beginning. Their expertise in the field of university application is truly unmatched, and despite our pro-bono connection, they put in 100% of their time and effort into helping me, being available whenever I needed them, and often initiating meetings to check up on me, which shows how professional they are. In addition to their own knowledge of essay-writing techniques for Common App, they connected me with an essay expert to further enhance my application – making failure for me impossible! Furthermore, if the professional aspect of their work is disregarded, Chris and Jack are great humans, and every single one of our interactions was enjoyable, and fruitful, and left me with a smile on my face. Thanks to two of them, my dream of studying in the United States was fulfilled, and I was offered two full rides to the University of Notre Dame and the University of New York. I will recommend their services to everyone who feels lost in the process of applying to college because they REALLY know what they are doing and they will bring the best out of you

Proud Parent (Tangier Morocco) - University Carlos III, Madrid

”Meeting Jack and Christian was a game changer! With their combined vast knowledge of the European University systems, and excellent career’s advice and guidance we were pointed in the right direction. Christian has in depth understanding of the Spanish application system, and direct contacts within the Admissions team, this made the process easier and less stressful.  We have now, secured a place for Jacob on the International Foundation Program at University Carlos III, Madrid”

Proud Parent - Susanna Passaquindici, accepted to 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!!!”

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.”
