My amazing team members

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.

The best college counselor, without him we would have been lost!

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.

Antwoord van HelloCollege

The fact that you came back for your younger son says everything — thank you so much! Helping your older son find the right elite college with confidence was a team effort, and we are thrilled it made such a lasting impression. We look forward to making the process just as smooth and rewarding the second time around. Your family is in great hands!

Great experience

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.

So happy to hear Leslie and Elena were such a great fit for you! A strong connection with your counselor makes all the difference, and it sounds like the pairing was spot on. Glad the remote flexibility worked well with your schedule too. Best of luck with everything ahead!

Excellent guidance, helped us stay ahead of schedule. Highly recommended.

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.

A family trip before the November deadline — that is what staying ahead of the process looks like! Leslie and the team will love hearing this. Finishing early and stress-free is always the goal, and we are so glad your family got to experience that. Thank you for the recommendation!

made the college process so much easier

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!

I really enjoyed my experience and connected with my essay coach counselor on a more friendship level.

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.

Mr. Salazar and Leslie are truly one of a kind — last minute texts and all! We are so glad they made you feel supported every step of the way. And happy to hear the editing app was a hit too. Wishing you all the best ahead!

Great experience with Hello College

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.

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.

Don and Sam are both incredibly dedicated to their students, and it sounds like they were just the right fit for your son. We know the investment is significant, and we never take it for granted that families trust us with something this important. Hearing that it paid off and that your son reached his college goals makes it all worthwhile.

I could not have gotten through the college application process without HelloCollege. They helped my son and I immensely navigate through the process and stay on task.
