2025 Acceptances

Launch students have recently been admitted to the following colleges and universities.
These outcomes reflect intentional planning, strong narratives, and a focus on finding the right fit for each student. Each student was able to apply to these schools knowing the value that the school would offer them and what kind of experience they could have should they choose to attend that institution. Student’s were engaged, equipped, and empowered to make the decision that felt right for them and their families, and I am so proud to have been a part of that journey!

  • "Melanie had come highly recommended by an acquaintance, and after one phone call I knew she would be a great fit for my daughter. Melanie turned what would no doubt have been an extremely stressful time into an exciting process that allowed my daughter to be 100% involved and responsible, but also supported, in the college selection and application process without butting heads with her mother!! Highly recommended Melanie!!"

    — Molly Robinson

  • "Hiring Melanie was the best decision we made for our daughter's college journey. She was highly effective at taking the immense stress out of the application process and narrowing down college choices. Melanie immediately put our daughter's mind at ease during the very first phone call, offering professional guidance every step of the way. Through several meetings in person and over Zoom, Melanie developed a detailed student profile and curated a comprehensive list of colleges perfectly tailored to our daughter’s aspirations. We are incredibly grateful for her nurturing guidance during such a challenging time. Melanie truly served as an amazing, invaluable resource, and we highly recommend her services to any family navigating the college admissions process."

    — Alicia Martisus

  • "I highly recommend Launch College Counseling services. We reached out to Melanie feeling a bit overwhelmed and unsure where to begin with the research and admissions process. She brought instant clarity, organization, and calm, not just for our son, but for us as parents. Melanie’s process was incredibly thoughtful, starting with interviews and interest surveys, then guiding him through researching schools using the resources she provided so he could take ownership of the process. She helped him craft a compelling essay that reflected growth to show who he is today. Her guidance boosted his confidence tremendously and removed stress from our family. Thanks to Melanie’s expertise and support, he’s already been accepted to many schools, and we couldn’t recommend her services more. She’s truly an expert."

    —Amy Kreiger

  • "Melanie was absolutely amazing to work with. She didn’t just help us take the first steps in the college search—she created a clear, organized process for us, including a customized spreadsheet and ranking system, and helped plan our college tours and travel. She built a wonderful relationship with my daughter and made what could have been overwhelming feel manageable and even enjoyable. She has also remained a supportive, go-to resource for any questions we’ve had along the way—including financial aid. I would recommend her without hesitation."
