"Clint has played a large role in the success we have experienced with my son Brennan finding the right college. Although as a mom, I had a somewhat good idea of how I could help the process along for my son, Clint was amazing in helping us with the organization process. Every visit he would go through checklists with my son and state exactly what he needed to do that month. Clint has a good way of relating to a teen-aged boy – he did his best to make the college search fun and interesting, especially when it was becoming tedious. He even helped Brennan fill out the applications, which was a relief to me, since I knew he had done this numerous times.
Clint has many useful nuggets of information about cal state schools, uc schools, as well as private. His knowledge about which schools excel in which majors is vast, and very helpful in Brennan’s decisions as to which colleges he should apply. I also appreciate Clint’s patience – I rifled many, difficult questions at him, and he always had an appropriate, helpful response.
Lastly, Clint is always available by phone or email when I need to ask him a question or bounce an idea off of him. What a relief it has been to know if I receive a cryptic email from a college, that Clint is there to help us decipher and to encourage! I would definitely recommend Clint to anyone who has a child ready to apply for college!"

“I couldn't have done it without him! It is so easy for me to recommend Clint. I am a single working mother of two boys in High School. I had NO idea how to navigate the modern version of applying for colleges and without Clint's guidance, I am sure my son's success in the process couldn't have occurred so easily. Clint built an immediate repore with my son which then led to a deep level of trust. This was about my son's future-- that's a big undertaking and Clint did it with grace, ease, and a unique approach that both my son and I greatly appreciated. There is no question that my second son will be in front of him when the time comes. Thank You Clint, from the whole family!”

“I first knew Clint when he was working as a college/career advisor at HBUHSD, and I'm glad to see he's set up his own consultancy -- Clint has always been an incredibly dedicated, detail-oriented professional who worked tirelessly to get results for his students. My friends at other schools reported they didn't get nearly the same resources from their college counselors that Clint gave us; his help ranged from extensive research on everything from scholarships and applications, to the ins and outs of programs at various universities, to simple sage advice. Every step of the way, he went above and beyond what his job description required. I'm sure he brings the same qualities to his new business that he's brought to helping us at Fountain Valley High School. Rest assured, you're in good hands with Clint.”

Mr. Walters and I became acquainted at the South Orange County Chamber of Commerce newcomers meeting. With common professions in education we had a lot to share. Clint immediately impressed me with his knowledge about career planning and college preparation.
My son had become disillusioned with high school and asked if he could finish his senior year on independent study. Benjamin was also expressing a desire to enlist in the Navy, with the goal of becoming a Marine Corpsman, but wasn’t sure the best route to take. With many serious decisions to be considered, I thought Clint would be just the person to guide Benjamin in the right direction.
My concerns were quickly put to rest after Benjamin’s first meeting with Clint. Clint’s wit and ability to relate to Benjamin was amazing, and created a very warm working relationship between them. Clint was able to communicate to Benjamin why completing his senior year at Tesoro would be very important. They narrowed down the universities that offered the majors Benjamin was interested in, as well as ROTC training. What Benjamin found especially helpful was the career testing which revealed his true inherent bent verses what was likely just a hobby or casual interest.
My husband and I were able to guide our two older children through graduate school and into a Doctorate program, but what a difference our experience has been with Clint’s professional expertise! Without a doubt, the service Clint offers is worth the investment in every child’s future.

In the Fall of 2007, Clint Walters met with our family to explore our daughter's college choices and financial aid options which included grants, scholarships, work-study, and loans. While his consultation was geared specifically toward our daughter's goals and desires, he was very considerate of the family's financial situation. He talked extensively with our daughter to ensure that she considered all of the schools that were best suited for her course of study. Whether it be in person or through e-mails, Clint's communication skills are top-notch. He provided us with a wealth of information, took the extra steps necessary to make sure we understood the procedures and their timelines, and continued to follow up with us on a regular basis. As college information can be overwhelming and somewhat stressful, I would highly recommend Clint Walters as a personal consultant to assist you in your decision making process. The service and expertise he provides is priceless! Please feel free to contact me at the following email address if you have additional questions.

appreciation for help and guidance you provided to my daughter
Mondana. Your input was very helpful and she was accepted to the
school of her first choice.

The summer before my son went off to college, I knew that he was going to need some expert help getting organized, filling out college apps, meeting deadlines, applying for scholarships, and writing those college essays. I had tried to motivate him, but was always met with, “I’ll do it later Mom”. Finally, I sought the help of Mr. Walters, the College and Career Specialist at Fountain Valley High School. Having been a teacher at FVHS for years, I was familiar with the great work Mr. Walters had been doing coaching, motivating, and empowering the college- bound seniors. Mr. Walters came to my home and met with me, but mostly, he worked directly with my son. Having the guidance of a ”specialist” let my son know just how important the college application process and essays were. He got serious real fast, knowing that Mr. Walters would soon be back. How did things turn out? Well my student is enrolled at UCSB with a $25,000 Regents Scholarship and loving it! I can’t thank Mr. Walters enough for the confidence and guidance he gave to my son. Feel free to contact me for further information at mcarpenter@fvhs.com .

Clint, thanks for the follow-up email. You are an intelligent and thorough guy and I believe you are in the right line of work. Don't doubt it. It's neat to see people like you in their element. Thanks for your help. I will call on you [again] when the need arises.

I am happy to recommend Clint Walters as an excellent source for all college information and the entire application process. I chose Clint to assist my niece with her college choices and I am proud to say she is currently a freshman at Cal, a perfect match for her abilities and personality. Clint is friendly, non-judgmental,
enthusiastic, and extremely knowledgeable about the sometimes complicated process of matching a student to several good college choices. Please feel free to
contact me at msrender@fvhs.com for any further comments. Go Cal!
