Very helpful throughout the entire process. Asked great questions and feedback in writing to make sure everything was entirely my own. Highly recommend!

100% RECOMMEND!! I had the pleasure of working with Michael this school year while applying to colleges, especially the UC system, and I truly cannot recommend him enough. Going into the process, I didn’t consider myself a strong writer, and since the writing portion is such an important part of college applications, I was worried about missing out on opportunities because of it.
Michael completely changed that experience for me. He was incredibly supportive and flexible, always working around my schedule and consistently checking in to make sure I was on track. During our Zoom meetings, he created a comfortable environment that helped me open up in ways I couldn’t on my own. This made a huge difference when it came to developing my PIQs and really diving deeper into my personal stories. Beyond his professionalism, Michael is genuinely kind, patient, and encouraging. He made what could have been a stressful process feel manageable and even enjoyable.
Thanks to his guidance, I’m proud to say that I was accepted into UCLA, UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, UC Riverside, UC Merced, and UC Irvine. I truly don’t think I could have achieved these results without his help, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything he did. If you’re looking for support with college applications, especially with writing, I highly recommend working with Michael; you won’t regret it!

Ben was instrumental in helping me get into my dream school [Dartmouth]. He was thorough and thoughtful in helping me work through essay topics as well as the small grammatical details in all of my essays. I can’t recommend him enough!

Ben is an extremely skilled educator and empathic listener who guided our son with such care and good humor and a willingness to follow him through so many thoughts until he hit on the theme that led to the final crafting of his essay. We can’t say enough good things about Ben, and we would highly recommend him to anyone seeking to write something clear and meaningful. We love Ben!

Michael is absolutely phenomenal! From the very first conversation, it was clear he was committed to helping me tell my story in the most authentic and compelling way possible. He listened carefully to my ideas, offered thoughtful suggestions, and worked tirelessly to ensure my essay truly reflected who I am.
Michael’s feedback was always constructive and insightful, making the process both enjoyable and rewarding. His attention to detail, creativity, and professionalism are unmatched. He respected every deadline and made himself available whenever I needed guidance.

Ben was fantastic in helping my daughter fine tune her essays for her college applications. She had a rough junior year in high school and did not have the grades we had hoped. Ben helped her reflect her struggles articulately in her essays and she is off to a great CA university this fall! Highly recommend Ben. Would give 6 stars if possible!

As a constant over thinker and stressor, I couldn’t thank Ben more for his help. When deadlines were right around the corner he helped me transform ideas into essays. The best part? I really felt like he guided me through how to do it on my own. It’s hard to find a perfect balance of advice and help, but Ben strikes it perfectly. Not only was he a major part of my college process, but also an amazing friend. We still chat long after the common app deadline, and It goes to show how much he cares.ssible!

My experience with Goldberg Daniels College Essay Consultants was amazing! I felt so lost and stressed with the essay writing in the beginning but Mr. Daniels really talked me through all of the writing prompts and and helped me ultimately decide what is most important to me and how to reflect myself authentically and honestly in my essays. I ultimately got into my top school!h he cares.ssible!

I highly recommend Ben Goldberg for effective college essay writing support. After working with Ben, my daughter was accepted into all of her top choice schools with merit scholarships. Ben has a great way of connecting with and gaining the respect of HS-age students. My daughter says it helped her “connect the dots” and hone in on specific experiences to better illustrate the key points she was trying to express.

I highly recommend Michael Daniels as a college essay consultant. Over a series of college application planning/preparation sessions, Mr. Daniels was compassionate, thoughtful and extremely thorough. My daughter was expertly mentored to “connect with her strengths and unique voice” en route to writing some beautifully personal yet professional essays. She was ultimately accepted by the college of her dreams and she could not be happier! To all conscientious high school students and their parents, I strongly urge you to collaborate with Michael Daniels! I am certain you will be quite satisfied and very happy with their service!

Working with Michael during my college application process was a super smart decision. He helped me brainstorm, outline, and craft my essays in a way I could not have done alone. I found Michael to be very supportive and insightful during our zoom meetings. Thanks in large part to his help, I not only gained admission to the University of Oregon, I got offered a substantial scholarship as well. I truly cannot thank Michael enough.

Through his questions, I was able to recall events and moments of my life that I would not have thought otherwise. Made the writing process enjoyable and less stressful.
