HelloCollege provided outstanding support across the board, from our son’s primary counselor (Kim) to the essay support, SAT prep, financial aid guidance and more. The process was very hands-on and we truly believe the cost was not only worth it but more than paid for itself in the acceptances and scholarships that HelloCollege helped our son to achieve. Highly recommended!

Having a professional college counselor project manage the entire application process E2E allowed me to focus on being a mom and deepen my relationship with my soon-to-leave teenager, instead of constant nagging him about deadlines, essays, strategies, etc. I’m forever grateful for that. Additionally, the essay coach helped my son produce an incredible end product for all his essays that set my son apart from the competition, while somehow making writing enjoyable in a way that high school did not. We were very happy with the process as well as the end result.

Overall, HelloCollege was extremely useful when it came to figuring out which colleges I wanted to apply to. However, beyond that, it was not as helpful as I would have imagined when the time came to actually apply to schools. I often felt that my counselor was a bit lackadaisical towards my applications and essays, although I now think this may have been an outlier as she left HelloCollege in the middle of the application season. By contrast, the most helpful part of HelloCollege without a doubt was my essay coach who took the time to get to know me as an individual as well as a writer. She always gave me high quality feedback promptly, and I always felt like she was available if I needed any sort of help.

I liked how personal the zoom meeting where and how I got to actually ask all the questions I had opposed to a big zoom meeting with 50 people where not every question gets answered. I also appreciated all the resources HelloCollege gave because it gave me access to a lot of help that I would have never received otherwise.

Hello College provided my daughter with interview skills training, enabling her to secure a summer internship opportunity at a local high-tech company. This is an experience that has been helpful for her college applications. It guided my daughter to the gates of the university and helped her understand what she needs to do in the future.

HelloCollege helped me tremendously in my college application process. Before, I had no clue where to start but with the help of Raymond and Allison, I was able to navigate my college search with confidence. I learned about things I had never even heard of and felt more at ease during my search.

Hello College has been a huge help in navigating the college search/application process. I have had enjoyable junior and senior year experiences with my daughters because of Hello College!

Using Hello College through the process of applying for college was extremely helpful for both my daughter and myself. She could not have gotten her 17 acceptances and over a million and a half dollars of scholarship money offers without the help of her Hello College counselor Raymond Gonzalez. He was there for her starting the summer before junior year, and is still there for her now. The monthly meetings, the essay coaching, the tutoring help, the FAFSA help, and everything else made this process so much better. My girl is headed to Drake University with a 47K scholarship! I can’t thank Raymond and everyone else at Hello College enough for their help and expertise. I’m extremely satisfied!
