My daughter used HelloCollege for her college planning and application process and we were very happy. It was great having someone else pushing her to get essays done and making her keep to her timelines. They helped her reword the extracurriculars in a way that fully explained the impact within the small character limit. They also provide a nice tool to use to keep track of all the important things about different colleges you visit or are considering to help narrow down based on different criteria that may be important to you.

We used HelloCollege for both our kids with fantastic experiences. Counselors were knowledgeable about colleges and the entire application process. It’s overwhelming, particularly applying to highly selective schools, so having experienced help navigating eased the stress for both us and our kids.

Our daughter got into her dream school (film school at USC!) and I’m convinced that the great team at HelloCollege played an important role in guiding her through the process to help her make that dream into a reality.

When my son first started the college application process, we focused heavily on admissions statistics and application mechanics. What surprised me most was how much the right counselor relationship truly mattered. My son is creative, thoughtful, and independent-minded. A traditional one-size-fits-all advising approach would never have worked for him. Some students may need pressure and rigid structure, but my son needed someone who could build trust, challenge him thoughtfully, and help him recognize his own potential without making the process feel overwhelming. We were fortunate to have Raymond Gonzales from HelloCollege as his counselor. Raymond took the time to understand not only my son’s academic profile, but also his personality, motivations, strengths, and even the emotional challenges he carried throughout high school. He knew when to push, when to encourage, and when to simply listen. In the end, my son was admitted to a school that honestly exceeded our expectations. But what I value most is that he arrived there as himself rather than a manufactured applicant. I’m deeply grateful for the personalized guidance, expertise, and genuine care we received from Raymond and the entire HelloCollege team.

Working with HelloCollege was really helpful during my college search process. As a student, I felt like I had a lot more guidance and support than I would have on my own. The SAT prep was especially helpful, and I was given a lot of useful resources and advice throughout the process. Everyone was very supportive, patient, and easy to communicate with. They helped make the college application process feel much less stressful and more manageable. I always felt comfortable asking questions and appreciated how personalized the support was. I had a great experience and would recommend HelloCollege to other students.

I cannot praise Hello College enough- from the first moment they were helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Everyone we have dealt with there has been top-notch, but I must give a special shout-out to counselor Don. This is the person you want to guide your child through college applications. We will be using Hello College again for our younger child.

I had a great experience with Hello College and specifically my counselor Mrs. Brooke and essay coach Willow! Willow was integral in helping me tackle my essays for all 17 schools I applied to before my senior year which made me feel extremely prepared. Additionally she helped me become a better writer in the process which I will forever be grateful for.

Everyone was so helpful and encouraging! I received a lot of guidance that helped me navigate the college application journey!
