Astounding Support
My general counselor and my writing counselor were amazing and helped me get into my dream school!! They weren’t afraid to tell me when my scorings and essays weren’t optimal whilst believing I could achieve my goals! My application became the best it could possibly be with their help!

Worth every penny..
Don Keller was amazing to work with. He partnered with our family to guide us through the college process. Everyone was very knowledgeable and an expert in their specific area of study. We all learned so much.
It's been over 25 years since I was in college and the rules have changed. HelloCollege and Don took the guesswork out of todays college process. Highly recommend.

It was truly so helpful and took a lot of stress off of me! My counselor was amazing at answering my questions quickly and thoroughly, even when I did not reach out at the most convenient times. They provide lots of resources and templates that make the whole application process so much easier. I truly do not believe I would have been admitted to the college I am attending in fall without HelloCollege.

I did not like the college essay help
I did not like the college essay help. I felt like most of the feedback I got was for sentence structure and grammar, not building a story. I loved my general counselor, Don Keller. He was amazing at helping me with everything I needed.

Antwoord van HelloCollege
Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. It means a lot to hear that Don made such a positive impact on your experience — we will be sure to pass along your kind words! We also sincerely appreciate your honesty about the essay coaching. Story-driven writing is at the heart of what we aim to deliver, and we are sorry that did not come through for you. We take this seriously and will use your feedback to strengthen how we support students in that area. Best of luck with everything!
Excellent across the board
HelloCollege provided outstanding support across the board, from our son’s primary counselor (Kim) to the essay support, SAT prep, financial aid guidance and more. The process was very hands-on and we truly believe the cost was not only worth it but more than paid for itself in the acceptances and scholarships that HelloCollege helped our son to achieve. Highly recommended!

Antwoord van HelloCollege
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review! We are so glad Kim and the rest of our team could support your son every step of the way — from essays and SAT prep to financial aid and beyond. Hearing that the experience more than paid for itself in acceptances and scholarships is exactly what we strive for. Congratulations to your son, and thank you for trusting HelloCollege with such an important journey!
Project Management and Essay Coaching (A+)
Having a professional college counselor project manage the entire application process E2E allowed me to focus on being a mom and deepen my relationship with my soon-to-leave teenager, instead of constant nagging him about deadlines, essays, strategies, etc. I’m forever grateful for that. Additionally, the essay coach helped my son produce an incredible end product for all his essays that set my son apart from the competition, while somehow making writing enjoyable in a way that high school did not. We were very happy with the process as well as the end result.

Thank you for sharing something so personal — this truly means the world to us. Helping families preserve those precious moments together during such a busy and emotional time is something we care deeply about, and we are so glad our team could take the stress of deadlines and logistics off your plate. It's wonderful to hear that the essay process became an enjoyable experience for your son and that his work helped him stand out. Congratulations to him, and best of luck in this exciting next chapter for your whole family!
Overall Very Helpful
Overall, HelloCollege was extremely useful when it came to figuring out which colleges I wanted to apply to. However, beyond that, it was not as helpful as I would have imagined when the time came to actually apply to schools. I often felt that my counselor was a bit lackadaisical towards my applications and essays, although I now think this may have been an outlier as she left HelloCollege in the middle of the application season. By contrast, the most helpful part of HelloCollege without a doubt was my essay coach who took the time to get to know me as an individual as well as a writer. She always gave me high quality feedback promptly, and I always felt like she was available if I needed any sort of help.
17 april 2026
Antwoord van HelloCollege
Thank you for this honest and thoughtful review. We are truly sorry that the counseling side of your experience fell short of expectations — a mid-season transition is never ideal, and we understand how unsettling that can be during such an important time. We are glad your essay coach was able to provide the consistent, high-quality support you deserved throughout. Feedback like this helps us grow, and we are committed to ensuring every student receives the same level of dedication from start to finish. Wishing you all the best ahead!
Great Personal Connections and Resources
I liked how personal the zoom meeting where and how I got to actually ask all the questions I had opposed to a big zoom meeting with 50 people where not every question gets answered. I also appreciated all the resources HelloCollege gave because it gave me access to a lot of help that I would have never received otherwise.

Antwoord van HelloCollege
Thank you for the kind feedback! We believe every student and family deserves personalized attention, and we are glad the one-on-one format made a real difference in your experience. It's important to us that every question gets answered and no one feels lost in the crowd. We're also happy the resources were helpful and opened doors you may not have found otherwise. Wishing you all the best ahead!
Hello College is reliable
Hello College provided my daughter with interview skills training, enabling her to secure a summer internship opportunity at a local high-tech company. This is an experience that has been helpful for her college applications. It guided my daughter to the gates of the university and helped her understand what she needs to do in the future.

Thank you for sharing this! Helping students build skills that open doors beyond the application process is something we're truly passionate about. We're so glad the interview training led to such a meaningful internship opportunity for your daughter. Wishing her all the best!

HelloCollege helped me tremendously in my college application process. Before, I had no clue where to start but with the help of Raymond and Allison, I was able to navigate my college search with confidence. I learned about things I had never even heard of and felt more at ease during my search.

Hello College
Using Hello College through the process of applying for college was extremely helpful for both my daughter and myself. She could not have gotten her 17 acceptances and over a million and a half dollars of scholarship money offers without the help of her Hello College counselor Raymond Gonzalez. He was there for her starting the summer before junior year, and is still there for her now. The monthly meetings, the essay coaching, the tutoring help, the FAFSA help, and everything else made this process so much better. My girl is headed to Drake University with a 47K scholarship! I can’t thank Raymond and everyone else at Hello College enough for their help and expertise. I’m extremely satisfied!

Antwoord van HelloCollege
Congratulations to your daughter — 17 acceptances and over a million and a half dollars in scholarship offers is absolutely extraordinary! And heading to Drake University with a 47K scholarship is such a wonderful outcome. Raymond is going to love reading this, and we'll make sure the whole team sees it too. Thank you for trusting HelloCollege from junior year all the way through — it has been such a privilege to be part of your family's journey!
Hello College was WORRHWHILE
Allison was an awesome resource at Hello College! She helped our oldest child prepare sufficiently for the college application and admission process. It eliminated potential arguments and allowed us to be parents versus taskmasters. Alison also shared perspective in an area where she has expertise and we do not, which I didn’t appreciate it first. We will use them again for our second child.

Antwoord van HelloCollege
Thank you for sharing this! We love hearing that having Allison in your corner helped keep the peace at home — that's such a real and important part of what we do. And we're glad her expertise came through, even if it took a little time to appreciate! We can't wait to work with your family again for your second child.
