Melinda Koss was well worth the investment for our family. She took both an aggressive and realistic approach to fine tuning a list of schools to apply to, shared insights that ranged from on-campus culture to academic rigor and everything in between. Melinda guided our son toward his high school senior year goals, stayed on him and steered him towards an absolutely brilliant essay that embodied who he truly is as a person. And not for nothing, having a hand to hold as you submit to all the common app schools was a priceless benefit for newbies!! We highly recommend Melinda and Find Your Fit College Advising.

“Melinda is f****g legendary”. She brainstormed with me, rather than doing my work and it resulted in an essay that I couldn’t have gotten to on my own. Her depth of knowledge about colleges combined with an understanding of me as a person made the process so easy to narrow my list. I am so grateful for Melinda’s guidance. IU Kelley here I come!”

Melinda Koss was such a great resource for my family in the college planning process. She was a pleasure to work with and covered everything, answered all of our questions and beyond. My son is well informed and prepared for his upcoming college experience. I highly recommend Melinda Koss for her expertise in college coaching. Thank you for everything Melinda!

highly recommend Find Your Fit College Advising. As a coach and trainer myself, I know first hand the importance of building a trusting and positive relationship with my clients. Melinda first and foremost creates a casual, fun and low stress process for both the student and parents while helping them quickly make progress mapping out and creating a clear plan in what otherwise could be a confusing, overwhelming and time consuming undertaking for any family. Certainly the knowledge of the process and how to maneuver through it is very important and she is an absolute expert in those areas as well. Our son looked forward to and enjoyed his sessions. Melinda made sure we were fully prepared to find the right college and team combination for our son. Well worth the investment in our son's future. Thank you Melinda!

Melinda helped my daughter from start to finish with her applications and essays. She went above and beyond to insure that my daughter felt supported and gave top-notch professional advice. In fact, Melinda made the whole application process so easy and stress free. She is an excellent resource and I would highly recommend her.

Run, do not walk, to hire Find Your Fit College Advising! Every step of the way, we were guided with knowledge and thoughtful consideration through the search and college application process. Even after my daughter made her decision, we continued to receive personalized support. From navigating financial aid forms to tips on a successful dorm move in, Melinda and FYFCA continued to provide invaluable assistance and advice. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

I wanted to thank you again for taking the time to advise me through the college process. You gave me so much information that I never would have known without your help. Also, thanks for reading over my Common App essay and the email you recently sent me with lots of helpful tips for college. I really appreciate everything you have done for me and my college process.

What a pleasure it was to work with Melinda helping our daughter Abby with the college application process. I could not be happier with the guidance and expertise delivered by Melinda - she made a stressful process much easier by being a neutral sounding board for our daughter as she narrowed down the list of schools she was interested in, as well as the editorial advice around her essays. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Melinda, you are amazing!! So much stress was lifted off my shoulders because of your help with my college process. You took into consideration everything that I wanted in a college, and I can't thank you enough for everything.

Melinda has been very insightful and helpful! She is very caring and calming at the same time because you feel like she is guiding you in the right direction without feeling overwhelmed and stressed. I highly recommend her!

You've helped me narrow down where I wanted to apply to college. Before I met with you I didn't have a list of schools, and you helped me identify which colleges would be the best fit for me. You have been a great help throughout the entire college application process, including the essay and the applications. Thank you!

Melinda has been incredibly helpful in our college search. She asks all the right questions in order to get to the heart of what the student is really looking for. With so many choices and directions in which to go, Melinda helps to narrow that down, and that really eases the stress for parent and student.

Melinda Koss' keen insight and vast experience into the complicated college application process was invaluable to my twins and I who were trying to navigate this for the first time. What can seem daunting and overwhelming, Melinda came up with target strategies to move through this process. This not only decreased the anxiety that my children had, but also gave us a greater perspective so that we were able to make better decisions as to how and where to apply.

Melinda was a life saver, making the arduous college application process very tolerable! I tried to work with my son, on my own, for many months and felt like World War III might erupt. He was resistant to work with most people and I give Melinda BIG kudos for bringing him around. Melinda was able to alleviate a lot of distress in my household. She is exceptionally organized and was able to make Kyle focus and get things done. She also presented him with several options of colleges that weren’t on his list which we had gone over with several others (including his school guidance counselor). She was always available to answer any questions we had and had a ton of patience. We had many many phone conversations, text messages and emails going back and forth. She never dropped the ball and always dotted every i and crossed every t! We never had a worry that anything would fall through the cracks. She was instrumental in getting his applications out, providing an extra set of eyes and helping with each submission. She also was flexible and willing to travel to our home in New Jersey. I can’t sing Melinda’s praises enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her…

Melinda, we had such a wonderful experience working with you. My son wasn't exactly enthusiastic about college applications or diligent enough on his own for the timeline of the applications. So, we came to you for help with the essay and it proved to be invaluable. It more then helped put him on track.

He enjoyed his sessions with you and wanted to complete the tasks you gave him. It was incredible. In fact, one school's acceptance letter directly quoted his essay. It was great and what a confidence booster! Plus he got accepted to all 8 schools he applied to.

For anyone looking for guidance with any aspect of the college process I would recommend they connect with you. I know you offered various levels of involvement and that worked great with our budget.
