The knowledgeable team at College Transitions worked with my son to identify top business schools.Dr. Michael is energetic, competent and very professional. The team not only reviewed each application but also the essays/statements to ensure there were no omissions or unanswered questions. Their assistance with the writing portion was thorough as well as informative in exactly what is expected in college essays. College Transitions goes above and beyond in their assistance with creating a resume, sharing standardized testing strategies. The team advises on how to effectively solicit letters of recommendation, who to solicit from, and when. They are with you every step of the way during the process including how to organize your campus visit, the college interview, financial aid and transition support. My son was accepted to all 12 business schools he applied to.Im extremely pleased with the assistance provided by College Transitions and would highly recommend them and their services.Richard Admani
Michael was very thoughtful and knowledgeable in guiding our daughter throughout the application process.We were very happy with the outcome as she was accepted to her top choices/top tier schools.The package offers an excellent value: she finished the main essay and all the supplementals well within the allotted time and was also prepped for scholarship interview including a thorough feedback.The whole process taught her so much. She learned about herself, how to stay focused, motivated and that she can achieve her goals. This experience will help her again soon when she’ll apply to Grad School or enter the job market.
We are so grateful we found College Transitions! My son was struggling to narrow his search to colleges and universities that would fit his criteria AND represent the best chance for acceptance. College Transitions immediately set to work helping him navigate the process. It was an absolute game-changer and removed all the anxiety that had been building up. Before I knew it, my son had his list of prospective colleges, and we started visiting campuses. It was perfect. Once he got to the application phase, College Transitions team provided meaningful feedback on how he could improve his essay. Their system enabled him to keep track of deadlines easily. Whenever either of us had a question, it was answered quickly and with helpful guidance. At first, I was hesitant to spend money to get help, but I cant think of a better investment in my sons future. It greatly reduced the stress of the whole process, and my son is heading to his first choice college in August!
The team at College Transitions has it down. They know how to work with students with a number of different goals and they have plenty of helpful advice. Definitely do recommend!
From the start, College Transitions laid out a detailed plan personalized for me for the college application process and answered all my questions in great detail and always promptly. College Transitions expertly guided me through the intimidating, stressful college application process and helped me get into my dream college, Harvard. Thank you College Transitions!
Ive long since graduated from college, but I found College Transitions book, The Enlightened College Applicant to be smart, well-written, current, and informative; its a powerful resource for families seeking to understand not only the landscape, but also the preparation and process of applying to college. I believe the team behind this book is more than capable and well-informed on the topic, and I trust their respective judgement(s); I look forward to more information and books by their team as their brand grows.I look forward to reading this teams new book, Colleges Worth Your Money, early next year after its release.
We suggested College Transitions to a family friend in Vermont and they were more than satisfied with the outcome for their daughter. They asked us to post the following testimonial since they dont use gmail:We recommend College Transitions strongly. Our daughter went to a private school in a small city that had somewhat low expectations with respect to college preparation. As parents, we found CT was very supportive but also realistic and circumspect. The “noise” regarding school rankings, programs offered by schools, etc., can be a lot of information to sift through. CT made what are daunting, potentially life-changing decisions into an approachable situation. CT tailored their services to our daughter’s needs and challenged her fixed beliefs about what to study in college, how to prepare, and how to be prepared for what you don’t know (i.e., how to go to college without an open mind). Many of the college advisors our daughter’s peers used had a too-broad approach in what schools to apply to and what tests to take. This seemed to dissipate resources and lack common sense. CT worked with our daughter to develop a realistic of set of prospective schools based on who she really is. CT focused on creating logical expectations about what was needed. Rather than cheerleading, they provided great coaching on setting goals, positioning, and identifying the work she needed to do to be admitted. Everything was conducted by phone and email, which made the process extremely convenient given our location in rural Vermont. At every step along the way, CT’s staff was available and responsive. They did a great job in focusing her efforts on where it mattered the most, whether it was on testing or comments on her draft essays. Throughout the process, CT’s manner was kind but clear-eyed and direct. Our daughter worked hard and was accepted at Columbia College in New York by early decision. She is happy and thriving there.
College Transitions has been an absolute joy. Not sure what wed do without their knowledge and expertise in the field.
