We were very fortunate to find Bell College Consulting for our daughter and son’s college search especially during the Covid pandemic! Chris navigated our kids through a complicated and often stressful college selection process with positivity and humor. We took advantage of all the wonderful services including full service coaching, college essay assistance, and evaluating the best possible universities that fit their needs. Both my kids got into their dream schools and we have Chris to thank for that. Thank you Chris for steering our kids to the best possible universities.

We have twin boys who both worked with Chris for their college selection and application process. We only met once in-person, and Chris held the rest of the meetings online with our sons. Video conferencing was great, allowing the boys to have frequent meetings and check-ins throughout the process even during their busy senior year. One of our sons was very unsure of where or what type of college he wanted to apply or attend and Chris helped him select a diverse group of schools to apply to and evaluate so that once the acceptance emails arrived, he had a range of choices to visit and think about

When Chris Bell walks through the door, in comes sunshine! He brings his positive attitude and upbeat manner—along with a wealth of knowledge about every aspect of the college application/selection process.
Because Chris is a people person, he connects quickly. He gets what’s going on for families, and easily draws out the teens to help direct them. (None of the push-pull we parents get with our own kids.)
My son met with Chris regularly to go through a series of steps around self-knowledge and preferences, and then they started in on “the list.” Chris was there for me, too, to ask questions

What a wonderful experience, working with Mr. Chris Bell !! From the very first meeting, we knew that this was exactly what our family needed... Chris met with Grif once per week, keeping him on track for every step of the college application process.
Chris made a suggestion of the University of Kansas being a great fit— it is absolutely perfect! We had the opportunity to go on the college visit, we met with a college admissions counselor while in Lawrence, KS, and Grif knew immediately that this was the perfect place for him.
Mr. Chris Bell was that pivotal person in our lives, he led us the

Chris takes an overwhelming, stressful process, demystifies it and breaks it down so that each piece feel manageable. We started working with Chris when my daughter was a junior. He helped her with all aspects of the college application process, from advice on how to get test prep, exploring a wide range of potential schools, up through all aspects of the college application process, including preparing for interviews. My daughter ended up getting accepted into her first choice 'reach' school which is a perfect fit for her. Chris really looked at my daughter as an individual and helped her find

Chris has been an amazing resource for my son and our whole family--truly one of the most genuine folks we know. He has been calm and supportive from start to finish. This is true, my son recently said, "I am having fun with this!"
Chris takes enormous effort to get to know your student and figure out "right fit" options for them. And because he is kind, you child will not want to disappoint and will stay on task.
And at this point, we are all really pleased with outcomes. Our son will have some lovely options to choose from that awarded scholarships-something we were hoping for. We are so happy
