-Jill, Kingston, NY 2022

“You really saw who my daughter was and what type of support she needed, and which colleges would suit her best. You were available for her at any given moment, and given the stress she was going through, that was invaluable. You helped shape her portfolio into the best presentation of her, and offered beneficial insights along the way. We are so appreciative of all your time and consistent support of our daughter.”

-Zahava, Woodstock, NY 2021

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Fit for U College Counseling!! Jesse is beyond wonderful!! She was excellent about communicating with our daughter and keeping her focused. She was available to us as parents and answered any questions we had. Our daughter met all of her deadlines and was accepted to every college that she applied to based on Jesse's input and direction. Jesse guided our daughter without doing it for her and this gave her confidence such a boost. The process allowed our daughter to have faith in herself and her ability to follow through and be successful!! I would say the communication is stellar!! Jesse was able to communicate with our daughter and involve her in the process. She was a great buffer when we did not all agree on certain points. She is very upbeat and always prepared. We are so grateful we found Jesse. I honestly don't know if we would have been able to do any of it without Fit for U College Counseling!!”

-Kellie, Kingston, NY 2021

Having you in our corner took some of the pressure off, especially with keeping our son on top of deadlines.

Knowing there was someone reliable we could turn to, regardless of how simple the question might be, was such a relief. Thank you!”

-Cindy, Highland, NY 2020

-Larysa & Claus, Stone Ridge, NY 2019

"I cannot fully express the gratitude we feel as parents knowing that with your help we provided our daughter with the best opportunity to succeed. We could not have asked for more. Choosing the right college is a life impacting family decision. Jesse and Chris really went the extra mile to know our daughter’s personality, preferences and career aspirations and use that information to lead her into expanding her college options and then ultimately help our family choose the best possible match. The best part of the process is that Jesse and Chris keep your child organized and on task in a motivating and supportive way. They simplified a complex and what could be perceived as an overwhelming process into manageable and achievable parts. They are always both extremely knowledgeable about all facets of the college search, application, and admissions process and literally are accessible almost 24/7."

-Bob & Valerie, Woodstock, NY 2016

"It was a very pleasant and helpful journey with you. Our son received good school selections and academic advice from you. Our overall experience was excellent. You helped find appropriate colleges for our son, helped with organizing his essay, and provided financial aid advice to us. Everything was perfect!"

-Ashish & Ashita, Hurley, NY 2016

"We can't say enough good about this service and these two people. The overwhelming process of looking for the perfect college is made so much easier with the knowledgeable, capable, supportive, and professional service that Fit For U provides. We really appreciated the way that you engaged our son in the process. You really allowed him to take the reigns with the perfect amount of guidance and support. We were so nervous going into this process but it came together so easily with little stress, just really fantastic! We will most definitely recommend you!"

-Seda & Dave, Port Ewen, NY 2016

"We had a positive overall experience. We are a family that has never really navigated the college selection process. Chris and Jesse's passion and knowledge were reassuring that we were doing the right things at the right time. Chris and Jesse eased the anxiety throughout the process by sharing their expertise and keeping us on task. We started the process by meeting face to face in the comfort of our home, brainstorming to help our daughter think about what she was looking for in a school and then defining a road map. There were times that we've seemed to run out of steam, but Chris and Jesse's passion was contagious. After several subsequent meet ins and frequent follow-ups by phone and email, our daughter happily made a well informed and thought out decision. We have recommended your services to other families."

-Guy & Kelly, Port Ewen, NY 2015

"Working with Chris and Jesse was amazing. They made the whole college search process enjoyable for both myself and my daughter. From the very first meeting to the last, they were with us every step of the way. Jesse kept Ireland on schedule with deadlines for essays and resumes and Chris was amazing at knowing what colleges she would like. Chris and Jesse both took the time to get to know my daughter, thus ensuring her a positive experience. The best part of this experience for me was their ability to keep my daughter on track. Staying on her relieved so much last minute stress for all of us. I cannot say enough! I would have been lost without both of you."

-Amy, Kingston, NY 2015

"As a parent applying for college can be just as stressful to us as it is for your child. Before Jesse and Chris, my daughter thought she had everything under control. We were arguing because she kept saying she had plenty of time. I decided to contact Jesse and Chris and after 10 minutes of sitting with them we realized we needed their help. Jesse and Chris have a great deal of knowledge in the entire college process. They are familiar with so many colleges, which made it very easy to find the perfect "FIT" for my daughter. Their knowledge of the financial aid process was a tremendous help, as it could be very overwhelming. They were available to help with writing college essays, filling out the common application, and helping her create a resume. They were professional and a pleasure to work with. We couldn't be happier with the whole process from start to finish. Thank you Jesse and Chris for making what started out as a nightmare such an enjoyable process with my daughter."

-Mariella, Kingston, NY 2015

“Fit For U College Counseling has been instrumental in helping me find, apply to, and enroll in the perfect college for me. I felt incredibly supported throughout the whole process, from beginning my resume, all the way through depositing. When application season came around, I felt confident that I was putting my best foot forward to the colleges I was applying to. When it came time to deposit at a school, I knew my school was right for me. I feel like without the help of Fit For U, the process of applying and choosing a college would not have been as clear! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! JESSE IS SUCH A LIFESAVER!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!”

-Lauretta, Red Hook, NY 2022

-Tyler, Ulster Park, NY 2021

“My experience has been absolutely amazing. Jesse was nothing but supportive and helpful and did everything she could to help me get to the place I wanted to be. One thing that really impressed me was how Jesse was able to give me feedback in a way that somehow motivated me to try much harder.”

-Lindsey, Kingston, NY 2021

“My experience has been fantastic and in depth. I’m so glad my parents found you and you help me along in this process. I would have had no idea where to start. Even though I loved meeting in person, the fully remote meetings were just as good…and since I didn’t have to drive, it didn’t take up as much time!”

-Jack, Accord, NY 2021

-Natalie, West Hurley, NY 2017

"My overall experience was great. In my experience I learned that getting into college is not easy and it is challenging at times. The college research and finding the right college has been the most important part of the experience. We made lists of colleges that I could possibly attend. Then, we spent time looking at the different programs and accommodations that would best fit me. You are amazing. Thank you for helping along this difficult path for my career!"

-Neet, Hurley, NY 2016

"My overall experience was amazing! I don't know what I would have done without you guys. You helped me with so much and really made the college search less stressful. You motivated me to pursue my dreams, kept me calm, and gave me the push to reach for schools I thought I couldn't get into. I loved it all! Thank you so much."

-Alanna, Kingston, NY 2015

"Working with Jesse and Chris was great! After completing my associates degree at a community college in Manhattan, I was looking to continue my education. They helped me identify schools that were best suited for my needs, connected me with the key people at the institution I was interested in, and most importantly for me, helped organize my personal statement that was required for the application process. They also were very knowledgeable in the financial aid process and helped me understand the different parts of the financial aid package. I began working with them late in the process but they were able to quickly understand my needs and focus my attention to meet deadlines. In the end, with their help, I received acceptance into all of the schools I applied to. I am excited to begin working towards my Bachelor’s degree."

Jessica, New York, NY 2014

"Applying to both undergraduate and graduate school can be an overwhelming task especially when you feel like just another 'number' or applicant. I found myself struggling with how to identify my attributes in my personal statement. Consulting with Chris and Jesse provided the guidance I needed to write a well thought out entrance essay that was both persuasive and creative. I also struggled with the financial aid process quite a bit; Chris was able to guide me to ask about the financial aid packages so I could get the education I desired at an affordable price. I have since graduated both programs and could not be happier with the turn out! Collaborating with a college counselor definitely gave me the confidence I needed to sell myself to the programs of my choice!"

-Tiffany, Kingston, NY 2013

"Applying to colleges was quite intimidating for me considering my high school counselor did not help me much. I wish I had worked with Chris sooner, however, after getting wait listed at my top choice, I met with him to see how he could help. He took the time to explain the process and knew exactly what the colleges and universities were looking for when it came to reviewing applications. Chris helped me come up with a plan to show the school that it really was my top choice and that I was a person who would do well at their school and fit in with their student body. Within a month, I received my acceptance letter to University of Vermont. I am going into my senior year and couldn't be happier. Chris took the time to help me along the way and I got into my top choice!"
