Vielka Hoy Consulting
- August 2020: Vielka Hoy notified BPN that she is closing her business.
Vielka Hoy Consulting is a college admissions consulting firm that works with students and families in grades 7 through 12. VHC employs three strategies--curricular support, test preparation, and consulting (that includes a unique college matching system)--to achieve three goals: graduate from college, in as close to four years, with as little debt as possible. Thus far, 100% of VHC clients are attending their first-choice college and are on track to graduate. Colleges and universities include UC Berkeley, Harvard, Columbia University, University of Pennsylvania, Duke University and more!
Clients receive unlimited access to workshops and time with counselors, a college case study, tutoring, and test preparation. See our website for more information.
I just want to warn you off of using the services of Vielka Hoy Consulting LLC. We engaged with this company last summer to help our teenager with college selections, applications and SAT prep as they were recommended by several posters here on BPN. First of all this company prefers to do everything remotely, which did not work well for our teenager. More importantly, multiple times they used shaming and negative reinforcement to try to motivate our teen, sending emails expressing disappointment when our teen didn't complete an assignment in time, or making us feel incompetent about the plans we had already set in motion -- e.g when we said that our teen was planning to take the SAT in the upcoming fall of senior year we got the unhelpful and dismissive reply that they don't usually recommend kids take the SAT in the fall of their senior year and implying we were remiss in our poor planning. Overall the experience made our teen anxious and worried about their college prospects and was not very helpful at all.
My daughter worked with Vielka Hoy Consulting. She is really knowledgeable and has openings. She was really personable and addressed not only my daughters concerns but our concerns as parents. She gave us great advice on what to expect as parents, and what to expect for students. My daughter got into SF State and is now in her 3rd year. My youngest daughter is going to be a Sophomore in high school, and we are already working with her to get a head start! You can reach her at vielka [at] vielkahoy.com
Contact vielka [at] vielkahoy.com. She is an expert at this, and really knows her stuff. She can help with the transfer, and the funding part, as well as anything else that comes up during the process, and she's super fast at responding to your questions. Hope this helps.
I highly recommend Vielka Hoy Consulting. She works will all kinds of students from grades 7-12, transfers, etc. and has openings. She is willing to travel and her costs are reasonable. I know she has gotten her clients into great schools with her good funding packages. Her website is vielkahoy.com, and her e-mail is vielka [at] vielkahoy.com. She's always quick to respond to any questions, and always makes herself accessible. Best of luck!
