What to Expect in Your College Planning Consultation

Testimonials.

They provided services to me that were essential to my success in searching for a college. They provided organization and guidance, which made the stressful and chaotic college process less daunting. I’m extremely happy with my choice and the path that I am on, and especially thankful for HelloCollege getting me here.

I would not have known what to do or when to complete all of the different aspects of applying to college. The program helped me find seven scholarships, kept me accountable and is a push in the right direction.

Utilizing their services alleviated a lot of stressful conversations with our daughter about deadlines and keeping on task. The skill set she acquired during the process from interviewing skills to professional prep will be key in the years to come...Their program was worth every penny spent!

One of the key benefits for both the parents and the student is the structured approach to the entire process from selecting schools to preparing for the standardized tests to writing essays and everything in between. It took the pressure off to just know that there was a plan of attack. The process helped build her confidence as well as she was ultimately making the decisions that will impact her life in the future.

This program successfully guided our family through the competitive college application process and provided superb resources at every step to help our son get into Duke University.

On your own applying to college can be tough. It was beneficial for someone like me who is a procrastinator to get direction on my essays and applications and help me stay organized.
