Raymond! He made our experience great. He supported our student, he reached out to the parents when needed. He offered services and recommendations we weren't aware of. He believed in our student and this was a much better experience than our previous experience.

Look no further. Raymond is the best!

Raymond is a godsend navigating this complicated college process. He has each students best interest at heart. That is his standout factor. He guides each of his students based on their unique potentials. I’m indebted to him for helping my oldest get to where he is and now he is navigating the way for my younger son.

Antwoord van HelloCollege

Coming back for your younger son says everything about the trust you have in Raymond — and he has more than earned it. Guiding each student based on their own unique potential rather than a one-size-fits-all approach is truly his superpower. We are so glad your oldest got where he needed to be and we look forward to doing it again!

Raymond was a perfect partner for our needs. He was consultative at all times, and the dynamic with our child was great. He kept her on task, provided options we had not originally considered and most importantly, kept our household stress free during the whole application process. Will definitely be using him for our next child when its his turn.

Counselor made process easy

My counselor Raymond Gonzales made it extremely easy to understand the process of College Applications. He helped me take the right steps in High School but more importantly understood my priorities and what I wanted out of this process. He was really friendly and honest about what my best steps were. Essentially this process helped me achieve my goal without regrets.

Leslie was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the application process. Her expertise, encouragement, and personalized advice helped make a complex process more manageable and gave our daughter the confidence to put her best foot forward and shine in the process.

HelloCollege Review

HelloCollege was a great tool all around. From laying the college process' groundwork with Mr. Salazar, to putting together amazing essays with Mr. Berger, I felt much more confident with the support of HelloCollege, and I know I wouldn't have had the same experience if it wasn't for them. Especially with my personal situation being catered to, it was truly an amazing decision to go through with.

A Great toolThrough college process

Hello college was a great tool to help us understand our daughters and parents the process through college.
You can do it alone, but having this team is like cooking properly.
You will always have stress, but they will help you manage it

We love that analogy — you can technically cook without the right tools, but why would you? Stress is part of the process, but having the right team to help manage it makes all the difference. Thank you for sharing and wishing your daughter all the best!

I had a great experience working with Allison Darleen and Max Freeman. Both helped me perfect my applications and Allison was an amazing counselor throughout the whole time.

I had a great experience working with HelloCollege. My meetings with my counselor as well as the group meetings helped me with all my college applications. I signed up for HelloCollege my sophomore year and highly recommend starting earlier than later. There are many lessons and tips give to underclassman that will eventually help them senior year.

Starting sophomore year is one of the best moves a student can make, and you are proof of that! The foundation built early really does pay off when senior year arrives. Thank you for passing that advice along — future students will thank you. Wishing you all the best ahead!

Highly recommend Hello College

We had a great experience with Hello College. It was helpful to have someone else help keep my son on track with the application process, essay writing, and scholarship applications. Kim was well organized, totally reliable and easy for my son to work with. His essay coach Brian supported his ideas and helped him turn them into essays he felt good about.

Antwoord van HelloCollege

Kim and Brian make a great team! Staying on top of applications, essays, and scholarships all at once is a lot to manage, and we are glad they could take that weight off your son's shoulders. Essays he felt genuinely proud of is always the goal. Wishing him all the best ahead!
