Kim and the Hello College team provided a great deal of support to our family when my daughter was researching colleges and universities. They also navigated her through the application process, fafsa, and provided an essay coach and tutors for multiple subjects. There was also a financial aid expert that helped us understand how to compare the different schools from that standpoint. Kim was a great point person to help us take advantage of all the services and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering Hello College.

The main concern I had and why I am giving the overall experience a 3 is because some gentleman somewhere in the process INSISTED that my son use his high school e-mail account to communicate with the college’s. My son told this individual that this was not a good idea because of firewalls in place. The gentleman insisted and instead of getting the acceptance letters via e-mail we had to go track them down ourselves. (And all the other e-mails we should have been getting from the start) After paying $12,000 to avoid mistakes, this is a big issue. When I reached out to Amanda Yoder I was met with what I considered to be a sugary sweet condescending reply that didn’t really take ownership of the issue. I responded to that email saying exactly how I felt. I did receive another email from Amanda apologizing and getting a more direct answer. I appreciated that and wish it would’ve just been that way from the start. Only personal email should be used with any correspondence to any college. The high school or district email should be eliminated from the equational altogether. On a positive note, our counselor Leslie was the most helpful person and we appreciate her so much.

Kim was super helpful throughout myHello College experience! She was very knowledgeable about the application process and made it so much easier.

Kim is very organized and made sure we were doing all the needed steps. She was also kind and understanding in all of our daughter’s wants. She is very good at understanding what is important to families!

Hello college is the best of the best! Specifically my counselor Leslie, she helped me through my college process and because of this I am going to my dream college. Her dedication to my journey through this difficult time made it feel so much easier. I am beyond grateful for the time she spent helping me. Leslie is the best!! I 100% recommend using hello college they make the process so seamless.

My mentor was very sweet and was very active in helping me stay on track of all my applications.

My counselor, Leslie Riccio, made the whole process a hundred times less stressful for me than I would have made it for myself doing it alone. While all my friends were rushing to submit their applications at the end of October, I was already done thanks to the plans Leslie helped me make regarding my Common App and essay timelines. She also gave me amazing advice and resources after I submitted my applications, including scholarship websites to use and interview techniques for honors programs.

HelloCollege definitely made my college application journey much clearer and less stressful. My counselor, Leslie, was very kind and helpful!
