Clients' Testimonials about Jeannine

My experience with Hello College was Excellent as we are new to USA. I found them by just a Google search as we wanted the best college for our son. From the first phone call with Dr Rabab Darwish who happened to be our son’s counselor later on, gave me the confidence in using their service.
First Zoom call with the Founder Kevin Krebs was quit pleasing as he and Jeannine helped me to find another family who could share their experience with Hello College who helped us to make the decision better.
Sue Nelson and Dan who did the Fafsa workshop helped us till we filled it smoothly. Cris Bench guided our son with the essays. Leah also helped us throughout the process.
Last but not least, I must say Rabab Thank you so much for being so kind and supportive throughout the past few months from choosing and filling college applications as well as being available at all times when needed. We would have not known how we would have done without you. You helped us to fill up all the forms with correct details and to make the best choice in getting our son the best college. We are so grateful for all what you have done so far. Even now still you are helping our son to build up his resume.
I mentioned everyone who helped us to say Thank you so much for your service. I sure recommend this service if you are a parent.
