Our experience equals your success
Collegiate Gateway is a boutique educational consulting practice founded by Julie Raynor Gross, Ed.M., MBA, CEP. Since 2004, we’ve worked with hundreds of students and families, and we know that each one is completely unique. That’s what we love about our work and why we pride ourselves on our highly personal and compassionate approach to every single student. Through years of success, we’ve crafted a distinctly individualized and effective approach to college and graduate school admissions — one built upon strong relationships, data-driven research, and real-world results.
“I wanted to say a huge thank you! It’s been really great having you there pushing me to get these materials to such a high level. I feel extremely confident thanks to all your wonderful suggestions.”
“I am really happy—I never imagined I would get 9 acceptances! You really helped me put together a very nice application and story.”
“We truly wouldn’t be where we are today if it weren’t for everything you’ve done. My daughters and I were fortunate to have you be a part of this most stressful time in our lives.”
“Thank you so much Julie! I am still trying to soak it all in, because it is more than I could have even hoped for, so I really appreciate all of your guidance!”
