Gabrielle Glancy has been an entrepreneur since the age of four when she sold stickballs for ten
cents less than cost back to the boys who had hit them onto her grandfather’s roof in Sea Gate,
Coney Island, where she grew up.
Just before founding New Vision Learning, at the height of the dot com boom, Ms. Glancy
invented Facebook (before there was a such a thing) and called it Townsquare.com. The
founder of Ebay, whose daughter she had helped get into Williams, told her it was a brilliant

idea, but that to generate revenue, she would need to sell ads. Selling ads seemed like selling
out, and so she founded New Vision Learning instead.
As a teacher, educational consultant and college counselor, for nearly thirty years, Gabrielle
Glancy has been in the business of helping students find and realize their dreams. Not only has
she helped countless students find a way to harness their strengths to overcome their
challenges — to learn how to learn — but as Director of New Vision Learning, she has helped
thousands of students — all over the Bay Area, New York City, Los Angeles, across the U.S., and
all over the world, locate and get into the colleges of their dreams.
Over the course of her career, she has worked in admissions three separate times at three
different and highly respected colleges and universities. She knows exactly what it takes to get
in and that helps her every day as she guides students through the college application process.
She has taught at some of the most prestigious secondary schools, colleges and universities in
the world including The University of San Francisco, New College, Lang College, The New
School for Social Research, Saint Ann’s School for Gifted and Talented in New York
City, Crystal Springs Uplands School in Hillsborough, California, The American-International
School of Israel, The American School in London, and Villanova Prep, where she helped
foreign and American students abroad (including boys from Eton and St. Paul’s in London)
prepare for the SATs and apply to college.
For the past several years, she has been Series Editor of Best College Essays 2014, 2016 and
2018. And she has authored THE book on writing college essays called The Art of the College
Essay, one of the bestselling books on the subject. Her next book, UNSTUCK, which helps
students free themselves from writer's block, will be released this September.
Gabrielle Glancy has been awarded Teacher of the Year by the National Association for
Teachers of the ARTS, and won the European Council of Independent School’s prize for
educational writing. Her essay, “The Best You Know How to Be” was published in their journal.
She is also a widely published writer. Her work has appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris
Review and The American Poetry Review. She has been featured on NPR and in USA Today.
