Transfer Services

As a transfer applicant you will need to:

Think carefully about where you want to apply and be strategic in your approach to maximize your chances of success.

Demonstrate not just your academic readiness but also your resilience, adaptability, and a clear sense of purpose.

Clearly articulate the specific reasons you are seeking to leave your current institution and you MUST do so in a mature, positive, and introspective manner---but some humor can't hurt! While schools want to hear about why you are choosing to leave your current school, they really want to know why you are choosing THEIR school.

Clearly articulate why the new school IS the right fit. What programs, professors, and research opportunities are you seeking?

Convince the admissions committee that you a PERFECT fit to enrich their community.

Grab the attention of the admissions counselors in the first few sentences of your essays. Make them want to advocate for you to the admissions committee.

Targeting Right-Fit Schools

If you have just begun to think about transferring but are not sure where to start, we can help. Transfer admissions is a different process from first-year admissions and we know it's a little daunting thinking about going through this process again.

We provide tailored advice to help students choose ideal colleges---schools that align with their academic goals and personal and professional aspirations. We help students target schools for success.

We take the time to learn about you---what motivates you and really get to know your story and the different aspects of your personal and academic path.

We can advise you on how to position yourself in the time you have left at your current school. You need to act now to maximize the time you have to put the right pieces of the puzzle in place for a compelling application package.

Get An Essay Edge

We assist students in drafting compelling essays that effectively communicate their unique stories and experiences to enhance their college transfer applications.

Your essay package needs to tell your whole story, to show the school who you are beyond the grades, test scores, and stats. Yes, those are important, but in an ocean of similar stats, unique, compelling essays are what makes you stand out and place the admissions advisor inside your life and see the authentic you.

Our focus is on making your essays highlight your strengths and voice. We'll identify and advise on the key themes, hooks, and structure for maximum originality, impact, and authenticity.

We take the time to truly understand each student and their unique experiences, goals, and aspirations.
