Testimonials
“Heading into her junior year of high school, Natalie had an idea where she wanted to go to college, but didn’t know where to start or what the first steps were. Her high school counselor is great, but just didn’t have the time to work individually with Natalie on her application and answer her questions. Merritt and his team took the reins and is currently leading us through the process. The personalization has been the most impressive part of College Counseling 360 and I highly recommend any high school student strongly consider working with this dynamic and talented team to help them with the college search process. “
“Was college the right choice and which college is the right fit? Recommend without reservation: Jayson didn’t know if college was going to be right for him. Merritt put Jayson through an extensive inventory and worked with him on identifying his strengths, passions, and goals among other things. Upon completing this we not only were able to confirm that college was the right choice for Jayson, but Merritt was able to put together a list of 8 colleges that fit Jayson’s needs and our family’s non-negotiables. We are in the process of applying and visiting several of these schools and are confident that the right fit will rise up and be clear to us based upon the great work of the College Counseling team.”
“Needed financial aid guidance and didn’t want debt; 10/10 recommend: Moving into his senior year, the thing that we were most nervous about was how we were going to pay for Ethan’s college. We have a little bit of money saved through our 529 Plan, but we knew that wouldn’t be enough. One of the most important factors in Ethan’s college choice was being able to find a college that was the right fit for him and getting him graduated with as little debt as possible. The financial aid team at College Counseling 360 identified a series of scholarships Ethan would be eligible for and he is applying for those now. We are confident that the schools Merritt and his team provided to us will allow us to meet our goal of little to no debt. I highly recommend anyone who wants to hear about all the tricks and trades of the higher education financial world to work with Merritt and his team; they are amazing and very focused on helping meet each client’s goals.”
“We didn’t know what we didn’t know; Highly recommend College Counseling 360: We’ve had two children go through the college search process before, but when I spoke with Merritt about how I thought I could do this alone, he said, ‘You only know what you know – and you don’t know what you don’t know.’ I told him I’d be willing to schedule a consultation and give him a chance to show what he meant. In less than 30 minutes, he blew my mind with information and explained with clarity the different financial aid models across higher education. He articulated the difference between loans and grants and which ones to stay away from and which ones to pursue; he explained the difference between unfunded institutional aid and funded institutional aid and why that matters and how to leverage it to get more money. With my two older children, we thought we got a good deal and did well handling things ourselves. I had no idea how much money we left on the table and how much more money we could have gotten in aid if we would have worked with Merritt and his College Counseling 360 team. My youngest two children are in 8th grade and 10th grade and we have already hired Merritt to work with us for their college search.”
