HelloCollege Anmeldelser 

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.

HelloCollege definitely made my college application journey much clearer and less stressful. My counselor, Leslie, was very kind and helpful!

Gave me so much knowledge and guidance on information on the college application process which I would’ve had no idea on otherwise.

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!

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!

Our counselor was patient, knowledgeable and supportive. He knew how to navigate the system and worked directly with our daughter every step of the way. Would highly recommend!

I loved my college counsler Leslie!! She was so sweet and incredibly supportive! She broke the process down to become more manageable and simple to understand! I got into my top schools, and am so excited to be going to University of Illinois! HelloCollege helped me through every step of the way and they were all incredibly kind and helpful throughout!

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.

Leslie was so patient, helpful, and caring during this process. She made college applications go with ease and she helped me through working with me through my essay and other factors.

First conversatio was with the owner, Kevin. Super nice guy. Made us all feel comfortable with the process. Meg was great and really helped our daughter with the process. Worth every penny, she will be a freshman at UIUC in the fall.

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!

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! 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!

HelloCollege was extremely helpful in keeping my daughter contract and motivated to complete and submit her college applications on time. I highly recommend using HelloCollege to any parent! It’s well worth the money!

This is our second time working with Hello College. We appreciate the support and guidance we have received not only from our college counselor but also with the tutoring services and writing coach. All were coordinated in a way that it was truly a team effort.

Leslie was always super helpful and on top of things. We could always look to her for help, she was extremely knowledgeable. The admissions process would have been super difficult without her. I would definitely recommend leslie as a counselor.

Good communication. Focused discussions

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!

Our son was accepted at every university he applied to, he's a solid student with good extra curriculars....but honestly this was a A+ outcome for him! Hello College was a BIG part of this and kept the steady and kind pressure on him that he wasn't as receptive to from my wife and I. During the process we were honestly not sure how it was progressing and had some doubts....but in the end wow! We highly recommend HC.

We initially thought we could handle the college process alone, but choosing HelloCollege was the best decision we made.

Our son was matched with Leslie Riccio, who was absolute perfection. Leslie brought realistic expectations, patience, humor, and endless encouragement to every Zoom call. She kept our son on track while removing an immense amount of stress from our shoulders. While the student still has to put in the hard work, Leslie and HelloCollege provided ideal guidance to facilitate success. We are truly grateful for Leslie and wish every family could have a advisor and cheerleader like her in their corner!
