The Dancer Mathematician
鈥淎t first, I told Don, 鈥業 don鈥檛 want to stay in Georgia.鈥 I was 100% set on leaving. But once we looked at schools that matched my major, my interests, and the kind of campus I wanted鈥 Spelman just felt right. I honestly don鈥檛 know where I鈥檇 be without HelloCollege. The process would鈥檝e been so much more stressful鈥攁nd I probably would鈥檝e ended up at a totally different school.鈥
-Taryn M., Spelman Math Major Student
It Only Happened Because of HelloCollege
"After three minutes of talking with Kevin at HelloCollege I realized that this isn鈥檛 just one person helping us out; it is a team of experts. I really walked into this with the hope that our kids would be able to achieve their dreams, but I know that today it only happened because of HelloCollege. You get one shot. It鈥檚 hyper competitive out there. Make sure you are armed with people who are experts and can give you the best chance of achieving your dreams."
-Jana S., Mother of Jake, Texas A&M Engineer Student
Big Dreams, Big Goals
"We originally thought of the college application process as being quite easy鈥 That, obviously, was not the case.
I would quite frankly say that Raymond and the team over at HelloCollege, including Kevin, have, in the best way possible, hacked the college application system. They've found every shortcut, every method to make your application quite literally the best it can be and the best that any application reader can ever see."
-Aaron G., University of Texas Rio Grande Valley BS/MD Student

Junior year is the time when many families get serious about college planning, but we begin working with many students as early as freshman year or 8th grade, which allows us to tailor the high school experience toward admissions.

That鈥檚 a trick question because there isn鈥檛 just one most important thing colleges look at. Admissions officers use a holistic review, meaning they consider your grades, course rigor, and test scores alongside your activities, essays, and recommendations. Strong academics matter, but colleges also want to see who you are beyond the classroom and how you鈥檒l contribute to their community.
Most students should apply to about 6鈥10 colleges. That typically includes 2 reach schools, 3鈥4 target schools, and 2 safety schools. The key is building a balanced, well-researched list because applying to more colleges isn鈥檛 always better. Focus on quality and fit to maximize your chances of admission success.
