My counselor
My counselor, Leslie Riccio, made the whole process a hundred times less stressful for me than I would have made it for myself doing it alone. While all my friends were rushing to submit their applications at the end of October, I was already done thanks to the plans Leslie helped me make regarding my Common App and essay timelines. She also gave me amazing advice and resources after I submitted my applications, including scholarship websites to use and interview techniques for honors programs.

Raymond Gonzales - Review
Raymond was super kind and understanding and was so flexible in rescheduling everything. He is an excellent communicator and gave me an honest take on schools- I couldn’t have finished the college application process without his help!

Amazing Experience With Meg!
Meg worked with me all throughout the essay process, she helped come up with ideas, edit my work, and refine my writing to fit the word count. She was super kind and supportive the entire time and became a friend to both my mother and I. Meg was able to accommodate shorter essay turnover times and send me edits usually within 24 hours. I could not gave asked for a better experience, I truly have Meg to thank for guiding me through the college essay process and making it not just easier, but even making it enjoyable!

HelloCollege helped us a lot to navigate through the planning for the colleges. We have 4 kids and we enrolled 3 older kids and our advisor is Raymond Gonzales. He has been an amazing mentor and a great resource. We are very glad we got him, our daughter is already in one of the top UK universities and 2 more kids are coming up. He is an expert in the admission processes and is very instrumental in his approach to talking to the teenagers. Highly recommend.

Hello College Is Unique For Everone
Hello College is the perfect support for high-achieving students that are HORRIBLE with time management. The college process is really daunting and with all the other responsibilities of senior year its easy to push it to the side, but having someone constantly keeping track of your progress works wonders.
My counselor, Kim, was amazing! First of all she focused on my interests, looking into schools that excelled in my major (Theater) and finding out what I need for them. She also helped me find out exactly what I was looking for in a school. All in all she was such a great help, and also just a joy too talk to.
My essay coach, Brenna, was also amazing help! She had a talent for pulling my essay topics out of me, instead of just telling me what to write. Her edits helped better communicate my ideas, and her deadlines helped keep even a chronic procrastinator in check.
All in all Hello College is an amazing experience that is highly personalized for what you need during the college experience!

5 Stars
My counselor was super helpful, and without him I can firmly say that I would have never been accepted to any of my reach schools, such as Brown, UCLA, and Northwestern. He kept me on track with deadlines, helped through stressful situations such as when I submitted things late, and guided me through the whole process in a way that my school counselor couldn't. I am so thankful for Mr. Gonzales's help!

Outstanding service!!
Outstanding service! As a parent, I could not have made it through the college application process without the help and support of Leslie Riccio and Hello College!
Leslie not only curated a success plan specific to my child’s goals, she was patient, flexible, and always one email/meeting away when we needed her.
My child was admitted to his top choice school and we could not be more grateful to Leslie and Hello College! In fact, upon receiving his admissions letter, she was the first person we wanted to share the great news with!
What could have been an incredibly stressful time became a transformative period reaching one milestone and preparing for the next. Thank you Leslie!

Thank you HelloCollege!
Our family received excellent individualized guidance from HelloCollege through the entire application process. Our counselor helped my daughter narrow down her college interests and complete a strong application that honed in on her strengths. Her essay coach helped my daughter highlight her unique experiences in well crafted essays. Working with HelloCollege over the last year allowed us to enjoy the process and meet all our deadlines, and now my daughter is very excited about her college choice and the adventure that lies ahead!
