Hello College was very helpful throughout my daughter’s college application process. We highly recommend Mr. Raymond Gonzales as a counselor, Mr. Max Freeman as an essay coach, and Kelly Shultz for financial guidance.

Graduated college with no debt and honors!

4.5 years ago my son started his college application process late and I needed help navigating through all the ins and outs. I’m happy to share that he was awarded a 4year full ride scholarship and just graduating on May 14th 2026 with a BS in Civil Engineering! We’re all so proud of him!

They got me into my dream college!

My family and I began working with HelloCollege in high school, leading up to my graduation in 2021. We really didn't know what to expect from college applications and admissions at that point, and the team at HelloCollege made it incredibly straightforward. They provided resources and guidance to narrow down a major and career path, helped compile a list of universities to tour and eventually apply to, and provided resources to help me write my admission essays and applications. All of their staff were extremely helpful, competent, and professional, and thanks to their help I graduated with my BSN from Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN in 2025! I'm incredibly grateful for all of their work in aiding me to get into such an amazing university!

We Recommend HelloCollege

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.

It's also great to hear the college tracking tool was helpful — we love when families put it to good use. Wishing her all the best as she heads into this next chapter!

Great experience for both kids

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.

Guidance Tailored to the Student, Not the Process

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.

HelloCollege

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.

Hello College Review

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.

Thank you for sharing this! Applying to 17 schools is no small feat, and we're so glad Willow was there to help you tackle every single one. The fact that you came away a stronger writer makes it even more meaningful. We'll pass along your kind words to both Willow and Mrs. Brooke — they'll love hearing this. Wishing you all the best ahead!

Hello College Saved My Sanity

Hello College saved my sanity. I am a single mom with two teens, working anywhere from 1–3 jobs at any given time. Freshman year was a battle just trying to convince my daughter to sign up for a club. On a fluke, I answered an email about a “college list” (I had zero idea what that even was), and Hello College was there to rescue me.

Raymond was truly the highlight of Taylor’s high school experience — and honestly, mine too. Not only did Tay end up creating and starting her very own club at LT, she overachieved in so many areas. Raymond even found free Harvard summer classes that Tay could take for credit. He helped set her up for success with college while taking so much pressure off me.

There was never overwhelm with essays because she was paired with a dedicated essay tutor who kept her on schedule and accountable every step of the way. Sue Nelson also walked me through the FAFSA and CSS applications MULTIPLE times, answering every question with incredible patience and kindness.

My son was much slower to think about the future, let alone prepare for college. Hello College met with me personally, and together we developed a less traditional path that has been exactly what Ryan needed. He has built a wonderful relationship with Ian, their executive functioning and tech guru, learning study hacks, organizational tools, and systems that truly work for him. His counselor, Don, has such a calm, steady approach that immediately relaxes Ryan while still getting him excited about his future.

My experience with Hello College has absolutely been worth every penny.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Stories like yours are exactly why we do what we do. We’re so grateful that Raymond, Sue Nelson, Ian, and Don were able to support both Taylor and Ryan in ways that felt personal, encouraging, and impactful.

It means the world to hear that HelloCollege could help ease the stress of the college process while helping your students grow in confidence and find paths that truly fit them. Thank you for trusting us with such an important journey — we’re cheering your family on every step of the way!

The Best Decision I Made During Applications

HelloCollege was a core guide throughout my college admissions journey. As someone who wasn’t carried by the best SAT score, they showed me that the college process is really about the individual and the story only you can tell. They guided me through every step of the process and helped me present myself authentically, which ultimately led to my acceptance into Cornell University. Special thanks to Sam Hobson, who helped me endeavor into myself and discover what sparked my heart, and then taught me how to show that passion to others. I could not recommend HelloCollege enough. It truly is a lifesaver when it comes to college admissions.

Antwort von HelloCollege

Thank you so much — and congratulations on your acceptance to Cornell! This is exactly what we strive for: helping students find and share the story only they can tell. We'll make sure Sam sees your kind words; he truly has a gift for helping students uncover their passion and present it with confidence. Wishing you all the best in this exciting new chapter!
