College Transitions Anmeldelser 126

I had a very positive experience with College Transitions. When I started with them in the Spring of 2021, I was a junior in high school and very overwhelmed by the college application process. From the get-go, Andrew Belasco and Michael Trivette supported all my needs, concerns, and requests. They helped me narrow down my application list, gave me lengthy and helpful descriptions of each school I applied to, and used my high school statistics to give me a general idea of what I could expect acceptance-wise for each school on my list. Andrew thoroughly looked over my Common App and gave me knowledgeable advice to help my applications look polished. When it became time for me to pick the school in which I wanted to spend my next four years, Andrew and Michael were quick to schedule a meeting with me to discuss my options. I'm so pleased to have had College Transitions as a guide throughout the strenuous college application process. Now, two years after I first reached out to Andrew Belasco and Michael Trivette, I am a happy and proud student at The College of William & Mary.

The College Transitions team was extremely helpful to me throughout my college application process. They were invaluable in curating the right list of schools for my academic interests and in identifying targeted summer activities that would augment my application. They were also extremely responsive answering questions, reviewing applications, and preparing for interviews. I also appreciated them keeping me very organized and on track throughout a very daunting and overwhelming process. In addition, Rae, my assigned essay coach, was an absolute rockstar, helping me write 47 essays! I am forever grateful and, as a result of all their guidance and support, I will be attending my dream school, UNC Chapel Hill, in the Fall.

They worked with me helping me explore and find ideas I would never have thought of, and taught me how to open my mind to different areas to make the essay that much better. Also taught me techniques on how to grab the audiences attention and how to hook them in to make them feel like they are in the story!

The knowledge, expertise, and professional resources provided by College Transitions proved invaluable in helping my son manage the overwhelming college application process from start to finish. Their methodology is insightful, informative, and complete, taking the guesswork out of the complex and often confusing world of college admissions. The personal counselors and writing coach provided individualized advice and attention while answering questions thoughtfully and responsively. Thanks to their in-depth assessment, my son was able to narrow down his college search to schools that fit his personality and goals. The College Transitions team was instrumental in helping him submit a competitive application and gain acceptance to many of the top schools on his list. College Transitions is one of the best investments I could have made in my son’s future. I highly recommend them!

College Transitions is an incredible college advising team. They are punctual, communicative, supportive, and beneficial. Their writing tutors are phenomenal, and always bring in new facets and advice to aid in the essay development journey. It is evident that each and every member of College Transitions deeply cares about their students, and I am extremely grateful for all of their guidance.

During my junior year, I started working with College Transitions and Andrew. Andrew is very knowledgeable about the admissions process and his guidance was crucial throughout the application process. The College Transitions team supported me in making every important decision, from picking the right courses for my senior year and creating a balanced college list.
They also recommended universities that aligned with my academic interests and suggested summer activities that would strengthen my application. Andrew was always there to answer my questions, even on weekends. My essay coach really helped me stay focused and I completed my essays well before the early application deadlines. Thanks to the College Transitions team, I got into a top engineering school. Huge thanks to Andrew, Michael, and Taylor. I highly recommend the College Transitions to anyone navigating college admissions.

As parents trying to navigate the college application for the first time, we are so very grateful for the generous, timely, on-point assistance we had from the team at College Transitions. The team's communications and responses (to our many questions) were always clear and direct, making us feel informed and supported as we took each next step. Thank you!

My experience with College Transitions was a very helpful and comforting experience. I felt supported from the first meeting all the way to the last. I was able to voice my concerns and ideas, and was validated throughout my journey with both my Common Application essay and my supplemental essays for each school I applied to. The essay coach I worked with was very down-to-earth and extremely helpful. I got into my top choice, and cannot wait to begin my journey. I’d highly recommend them- thanks Andrew and Michael!

Our daughter ended up getting accepted early to one of her "reach" schools - a public ivy that has a very competitive admissions process. This will allow us to take advantage of four years of state-paid tuition. I believe the investment in CT helped make that happen. We signed up for College Transitions to allow for full support beginning in our daughter's junior year. Meeting with Andrew and Michael before junior year was super helpful to get assistance with picking classes (i.e. dual enrollment versus AP) and to cut through the "noise" of what your teen needs to be focused on during their junior year. Kids can't be everywhere and need to preserve their time for what really matters and CT helps with that in spades. Partnering with CT allowed my daughter to understand and adhere to a college application time frame that was well thought thru and really took the pressure of me to "step in". Andrew and Michael know their stuff - they stay very up to date on the latest application news with the individual colleges and also know that rankings are only part of the puzzle (it's finding the best school for YOUR kid at the end of the day).

I am an immigrant and have no idea about the college application process. I am extremely pleased by the guidance and assistance in every step of my son’s application process. Michael has been always ready for help when questions were raised. My son gets in his dream school and we really appreciate the help from the College Transition. Strongly recommend the services by College Transition.

The College Transitions team was nothing less than amazing! They are very knowledgable about the application process. We got all of our questions answered very swiftly, regardless of nights, weekends, or holidays. (We are in pacific time zone). The team was very responsive. Furthermore, their internal flow management system is great in keeping you informed of where you are in the process, what is needed from you, and what is completed. Their help in reviewing my essays, giving feedback and recommendations were priceless and very productive. Shout-out to the team, Andrew, Michael, and Lauren. My dream school was NYU and I got accepted!

College Transitions was truly one of the best investments I've ever made in my entire life! As a first-generation college student with a recently deceased parent, I was completely clueless when applying to colleges. My guidance counselor wasn't helpful and my resources were limited due to attending a small school. This is where College Transitions came in! They helped explain the whole college application process to me in in-depth but understandable terms and provided me with the framework to apply to colleges "effortlessly". With guidance and a set to-do list of what each college required, it was much easier to stay organized with every application's requirement. Not only that but College Transitions gives you a very insightful description of every college/university imaginable: the campus culture, undergrad size, tuition, majors, and more! They help you decide your reach/target, safety schools, and my favorite, the essay teachers. WOW are these talented people! My essay teacher was so kind, intelligent, and quick to get back to me on all my essays! We had many brainstorming sessions and she always helped me bring my ideas to life! I've even had a few compliments in acceptance letters. Speaking of acceptance, I got accepted into most of the schools I applied to (with some having under 50% acceptance rate) and never felt lost along the way. Their guidance was truly unmatched and I firmly believe I wouldn't have completed the college application process without them. Live changing service for sure!

This was my second child to take advantage of the college transitions program. The overall experience exceeded my expectations, again! Focused, structured and effective! This was exactly what we needed. I have no doubt we will be back for grad school!
Thank you

Andrew, Michael, and Mariya (my writing coach) helped me to navigate the college admissions process with ease by always answering my questions promptly and providing useful advice to improve my applications. I was able to stay on top of all my essays with Mariya's help, and I felt that my writing skills improved significantly over the course of the admissions process. Andrew thoroughly proof checked my applications before submission and helped to polish them. With College Transitions' help and support, I was able to get into one of my top choices: USC.

The whole team at College Transitions was very organized. The writing coach (Melissa) is really good. The advice and guidance Andrew and Michael provided was right on the target. My questions were always answered in a timely and thorough manner.

The team at College Transitions did a great job answering the wide range of questions associated with the very complicated college application process. I knew that they would advise on the steps I needed to take with my school, forwarding test scores, and completing the Common App, but I was pleasantly surprised at their availability respond to my other inquiries as well. From course selection in high school, to the right kinds of summer programs to pursue, and several other last minute questions I threw their way, College Transitions used their wealth of experience to make my application process successful.

I am super grateful to have found College Transitions. The current college landscape is hard to navigate. Working with College Transitions, we had a clear picture of which schools our daughter was likely to be admitted to and which were "reaches." Their predictions were exceedingly accurate. A giant asset to our package was the essay coaching. Applying to over 10 schools means there are a lot of essays to write and keep track of. Our daughter had weekly meetings with her coach over Zoom which kept her timelines in focus and a forward progression with the essays. Because of the time management and guidance provided, she had all essays completed for Early Action deadlines. Her coach was relatable and helpful, and it took the stress off our parent/child relationship to have someone else overseeing this process. College Transitions was very professional and accessible to us from start to finish. I will be contacting them in another year when our son begins his college application process. THANK YOU COLLEGE TRANSITIONS!

The best part of college transitions was their ability to answer almost any question or worry within 24 hours. This was super helpful all the way through.

We hired College Transitions again, this time for our 2nd child, and had another great experience! CT helped us navigate the stressful college admissions process, from picking which classes to take in high school, to determining the colleges that would be a match for our son, through the whole application process, including the Common App and essay guidance. Our son had very successful application cycle—he applied to 10 schools and was not rejected by a single one. He is now going to his top choice. We couldn’t have done it without the advice and guidance of College Transitions and its amazing team. The process is stressful, but CT made it so much better. We will use them again for our 3rd child in a few years.

I truly cannot sing praises loud enough for the work that Michael, Andrew, and whole College Transitions team did to support my son throughout the college admissions process. Their extensive resources, straight-forward processes, and individualized attention gave my son (and his parents!) the direction and clarity we needed to demystify the admissions experience. He will be attending Georgia Tech in the fall and we couldn’t be more proud of him. Thanks again, College Transitions!
