Before Meridian existed, our founders developed this methodology through AcceptED USC, a free program they founded at USC that has advised 150+ underserved Los Angeles students through the college application process. AcceptED USC established prior partnerships with Princeton Review and Illumna to support their students.
All school names on this page are listed for identification only and do not imply endorsement or affiliation.
The habits that produce a strong application, meeting deadlines, taking feedback, saying clearly what you want, are the same ones that carry a student through college and beyond. The aim is not a name on a sweatshirt. It is finding the school that genuinely fits, and arriving there built to make the most of it.
Most students don't realize what they're capable of until you show them proof from their own life. My job is helping them see that clearly and build the mindset to go after it, because that mindset sticks with them long after the applications are done.
For a family, this is the biggest decision their student has made so far. They deserve a process that takes it as seriously as they do.
Complete the process and receive no acceptance from any school on your final, mutually-agreed list of five or more schools, and Meridian refunds 100% of fees paid. The full conditions including deadlines, participation, and more are set out in your engagement agreement, and we walk through them before you sign.
