How we Help Your Student Succeed

Increase Acceptance Odds

In today's admissions landscape, it's not enough to have great grades and test scores. We focus on helping students identify their strengths and passions to build a strong stand out factor with admissions. Expert counselors then provide a framework to complete the myriad of necessary application milestones to reduce stress along the way.

Find a Fit the First Time

Did you know that the average 4 year degree actually takes 5.7 years? It doesn't help that 37% of student transfer colleges and 80% change majors. We guide students to zero in on the right college list and major using our proprietary S.A.F.E. methodology. This leads to happy students with a career path after college and avoidance of tens of thousands of dollars in college costs caused by delays in graduation.

Reduce Debt and Maximize Scholarships

We help families target the best schools for their financial situation by illuminating the real costs of college and analyzing their options. We work with students to create a target list of merit and private scholarships that meet their profile and interests and assist with the essays needed to apply. We then help families analyze their offers from each college and craft appeals.

Schedule a College Planning Consultation

Our free consultation is designed to help your family identify and explore your child’s academic aspirations and needs throughout high school and applying to college.



Why Choose a College Prep Company?

Our extensive college advising solutions are driven by custom expert mentoring, peer workshops, and personalized online tools. Your high school school counselor is often unable to provide the level of attention students truly need. In fact, the average high school student to counselor ratio is 482:1. High school counselors simply don’t have enough time or resources to properly help each pupil prepare for college, which may leave your teenager uninformed and stressed about admissions, scholarships and financial aid.

Higher education can be overwhelming for parents and students alike. Families must face the rising costs of tuition, confusing financial aid processes and increasingly competitive admissions requirements. At HelloCollege, our expert advisors help take the stress out of college applications and planning. Our independent college counseling can guide students every step of the way, from start to acceptance.
Since planning for college involves many steps, it is ideal for students to start early, ideally by sophomore or junior year of high school. That way, they have ample time to select the best institutions and meet important deadlines. As a dedicated college admissions company, we have helped thousands of families send their children to their dream schools. College prep is an investment, and our experienced team will work hard to set your student up for success.
