HelloCollege Avis 

We initially thought we could handle the college process alone, but choosing HelloCollege was the best decision we made.

Our son was matched with Leslie Riccio, who was absolute perfection. Leslie brought realistic expectations, patience, humor, and endless encouragement to every Zoom call. She kept our son on track while removing an immense amount of stress from our shoulders. While the student still has to put in the hard work, Leslie and HelloCollege provided ideal guidance to facilitate success. We are truly grateful for Leslie and wish every family could have a advisor and cheerleader like her in their corner!

Leslie was AMAZING and I’m so grateful for her. I can’t even put into words how helpful and great she’s been, Elena as well with my essay and my application I was accepted into over 20 colleges. They both pushed me beyond my procrastination even with my busy schedule towards my dream. I appreciate them both so much and wish them and their families the best. Thank you so much for everything, I will never forget this experience and will always recommend to anyone who’s going into their senior year.

Meg made it very easy process. She did a fantastic job with getting things done on time and her communication was fantastic.

Amanda made sure I was always on track and always made sure I had everything set for college

My sons' college counselor Don was great. He kept them on track, provided guidance, served as a valuable resource and was a true partner in the college application process.

Hello College provided to my daughter with the necessary tools and skills to navigate the college applications and college selection to help her to land in her dream school, while keeping her up to date with a permanent follow up of the goals to accomplished. Best decision made to get support from Hello College in this competitive environment, thank you

Hello College and their counselors were vital in our son’s success in navigating college prospects, the application process, essay assistance and acceptance process. We are very grateful!

We had a wonderful experience working with our HelloCollege counselor throughout the college admissions process for our first son. His knowledge of the process is unmatched, and he was organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping our son navigate each step with confidence. He provided excellent guidance on school selection, essays, timelines, applications, and overall strategy, and without his insight, we do not believe our son would have had the confidence or direction to select the elite college that was ultimately the right fit for him. We especially appreciated his personalized approach, clear communication, and ability to make the entire process feel much less overwhelming for our family. Because of that positive experience, we are now using HelloCollege again and the same counselor for our younger son. We highly recommend him to any family looking for thoughtful, knowledgeable, and professional college counseling support.

Our counselor Raymond is the best! He is very responsive and resourceful, energetic, and always well prepared! We really appreciate Raymond guiding our kids through this tough process!!

I had a great experience with HelloCollege and all their resources from counseling to application prep. Leslie, my counselor, was so easy to talk to and connect. We had no problem getting along and we were paired perfectly. My writing coach, Elena, was so helpful in brainstorming and editing my essays. All their services being remote made it very flexible and easy to adapt with my schedule.

Working with Hello College as a company and Leslie Riccio, in particular, as our first point of contact was great. It helped our family stay organized. The help & guidance, we received on shortlisting colleges, and guidance on college essays, helped us stay on top of the college deadlines. So much so that we finished all applications before early application deadline of Nov 01, and went on a family trip while other students in our circle were sweating out to meet college deadlines. Highly recommended, especially if your child isn't always on top of everything.

Essay coach was super helpful, and don was really helpful in creating my college list and everything else (activities etc)

I loved how easy going, flexible and responsive my counselor was! I could reach out with any small or big question and she’d respond right away with an answer. She made the whole confusing college process into a much simpler and doable task and got me to the exact place i wanted!

Would have been more helpful if I joined before summer of junior year but otherwise 👍

I really loved how Leslie supported me throughout the whole process. Applying for college is one of the most stressful things and HelloCollege made that easy for me. I felt like I had abundant resources and really well educated professionals helping me through out the process.

I really enjoyed my experience and feel it would have been impossible for me to get all that work done without Hello College’s guidance. I also enjoyed the editing app becuase it was simple to use and made edits obvious. I also really enjoyed working with Mr. Salazar and Mrs. Leslie becuase they were always so helpful and kind to me even when I would text them last minute.

We had a great experience with the Hello College team throughout the college application process. The essay coaching, test enhancement, application guidance, and just helping our daughter stay on task during a lengthy application process was so helpful. Every step was clearly laid out and they helped meet each checkpoint. Our daughter’s hard work, Hello College’s expertise, and a little bit of luck helped her get accepted to her top program and many other competitive schools.

The counselors are very experienced and responsive. The counselings are structured, personalized. We appreciate the consistent, timely and clear instructions. The made the college application, the complex project, well-arranged and somewhat enjoyable.

The staff that works at hello college are very motivated and dedicated to help you with your problems. Mine Counselor did a good job of breaking everything down and making the process easy and simple.

We had a great experience with Hello College. Don was perfect for our son and we believe he helped our son meet his college goals. Not inexpensive - but in the end we felt it was worth it in our situation. My son also loved his essay coach Sam and she was instrumental in getting good essays out of my son.
