College Transitions Omdömen 

Andrew and Michael are incredibly helpful advisors in the high school to college transition, and the vast amount of online resources that the team has brought together for their students was invaluable in exploring and deciding between colleges. If you're looking for college admissions put simply, in as straightforward of a manner as possible, College Transitions is a stellar choice.

So happy to have found College Transitions! Dave and Michael gave us great support on all items, especially the college list, reviewing all applications, and suggesting essays edits. We also found their books to be nice resources, and "Colleges Worth Your Money" was our go to book. It's so good that we recommended it to other families. Our son will be attending UC Berkeley this year and we couldn't be any more happy!

The College Transitions team did a great job narrowing down my schools, helping me with one on one essay coaching, creating a narrative, and helping land me an offer from Cornell (among many other amazing universities!).

They were both incredibly helpful with navigating the college admissions process. It was very useful to have someone to contact with the many uncertainties in this process, and they have out a lot of different resources that helped, including help with writing the college essays.

College Transitions made this process much easier for my daughter. Our counselors, Mr. Andrew and Ms. Emily, were very proactive and always there to offer advice and recommendations. We found the program to be very beneficial, especially when it came to reviewing our applications and essays. The gave us constructive feedback on all entries into the applications and answered each of our questions. We are so thankful for the time they dedicated to helping our daughter, allowing her to be accepted by early decision to NYU. We highly recommend College Transitions.

I owe College Transitions a tremendous amount of gratitude! I began working with Dave Bergman and Michael Trivette at the beginning of 11th grade and they helped me plan for everything that would be going into my applications. They were able to review my profile early on and give me advice on where to cut back and what things to focus on. While many of my friends were trying to do so many activities, Dave and Michael told me to focus on my most important extracurriculars. I was able to use that time to volunteer at the hospital, compete in Science Olympiad, and serve as president of our school's HOSA chapter. By the time the applications were due, I was able to point to a few things that we felt best communicated who I was, and what I wanted to do in college. I received acceptances from 9 different colleges and I am convinced that Dave and Michael prevented me from attempting to do too much, to the point where my applications would have suffered. Instead, I felt calm and reassured throughout the entire process. I should also thank my writing coach, Molly, as she was a huge help for all of my essays. I'm eternally grateful to College Transitions for helping me achieve my dream of attending WashU in St. Louis!

Through College Transitions, I was able to easily construct a list of colleges that I was truly excited to go to. I was able to ask Michael for help at any time, which made it really convenient. I also was able to receive great feedback on my essays, which made all of my applications a lot stronger. I would recommend College Transitions to anyone who feels unsure of handling the college decision making process.

College Transitions gave me guidance and resources that I would never have otherwise known about. Coming from a high school where our counselors had hundreds of students assigned to them, I wasn’t able to receive personalized attention. However, my College Transitions counselor, Mr. Trivette, was extremely responsive, thorough, and helpful at all times. He also assigned a gifted editor to review my essays. She allowed me to express my thoughts and creativity while helping me stay focused on the prompts and word limits. These days, the college application process is overwhelming. However, having College Transitions there to guide me made all the difference; it was a key ingredient to the numerous acceptances that I received, many of which were from reach schools.

It was always a pleasure to work and speak with Michael. He provided an extensive and diverse list of colleges that best fit me based on my long-term goals. He was prompt in providing excellent and realistic feedback for all my queries during the lengthy application process.
Christina my essay coach, was phenomenal in advising me during the college essay writing application process. She was instrumental in helping me organize and articulate my thoughts.
Big kudos to the entire College Transition team for enabling me to get accepted into multiple colleges and then helping me select the best possible college.

As a student, I really appreciated Micheal Trivette's guidance through the college application process. I knew what basic qualities I wanted in a college, but didn't know specifically what colleges I wanted to apply to. Micheal helped create a large list for me to choose from. He helped outline the due dates for all the colleges I was applying to and connected me with a writing coach for my essays. College Transitions made the application process super smooth. I highly recommend students use College Transitions when applying to colleges. With Micheal's help, I am now at my dream school!

I am so incredibly grateful for the guidance and support during the college process that College Transitions gave. From the first meeting with Michael, I knew I was in good hands even though the college application process was terrifying to me and arguably one of the most stressful periods of life I’ve been through. Throughout my application process, the regular check-ins by Michael kept me on track. My essay coach gave very useful and prompt feedback for all of my essays, and I felt like I became a much better writer in the process and these skills have carried me through college into my career. An unexpected positive consequence was that I learned how important it is to represent yourself in the best possible light, and learning that lesson from Michael and my essay coach at College Transitions has inspired me to think big and dream bigger. I would not have gotten into the best possible school to accomplish my dreams if it had not been for the steady guidance of College Transitions.

Before working with College Transitions my dad and I had created a list of ten or so colleges that we felt would be a good fit for me. However, after meeting Micheal and having him help me through the college process, he chose a couple of schools that a) I never even heard of but were fantastic fits b) I never thought I would get into. College transition allowed me insight on what many colleges are actually looking for-- I had a very narrow idea of the "ideal applicant," but after working with college transitions I had a much better understanding of what the "ideal applicant" actually looks like. I realized that there were so many things I underplayed that ended up becoming major "playing cards" in my application. College transitions introduced me to Vassar College, a school I never thought I would get into. After seeing that Michael believed I had the potential to get into such a selective school, I started to understand what the college process really looked like and the strengths I had to offer that for so long I didn't think would "count" towards anything. I had never heard of Vassar and it was my reach school and wild card school. I am now at Vassar, and it has exceeded my expectations. I had no idea how perfect of a fit it would be for me-- it truly did seem like Michael knew me better than I knew myself. I would have never ended up at such a good school and one that fits so perfectly for me if it hadn't been for college transitions.

College Transitions genuinely changed the trajectory of my life. Feeling stuck and confused about what was next for my journey, Dave Bergman individually restored so much faith in myself and gave me the confidence to pursue transferring from community college in one year rather than two like I had previously thought. He recommended colleges I had never considered before and am now at CU Boulder Leeds School of Business, which he directed me towards. I could not be more grateful for the individual support and mentoring College Transitions has given me. They gave me a path forward but more importantly restored my faith in myself, and set me back on track to have a successful and enjoyable college experience.

I had an amazing experience with College Transitions. I connected with Michael Trivette and the team at a time when I was really unhappy with my college experience. He helped me find a great university that is the right fit for me. He helped me through the entire process of applying to colleges. This can be such a stressful time, but knowing someone had my back, made it so much better. Now I am at a college I love, majoring in molecular biology, and on the pre-med track. I am now able to work toward my career while having the college experience I've always dreamed about. I would definitely recommend Michael and his amazing team:)

We love Andrew! He worked personally with me on an essay that was difficult for me to write. His staff is also incredibly kind and attentive. I went through over ten drafts of my personal draft, but the end product is guaranteed to be perfect. I had a million and one questions about the college admissions process, and they patiently answered every single one. If you want to feel more confident about your application and as an applicant in general, definitely use College Transitions!

College Transitions provided me with the help I needed to succeed in my transfer application process. The counselors and essay specialists were available around the clock to help me craft a comprehensive list of prospective schools and edit my essays. Overall, a great experience.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Andrew and his team at College Transitions. Their exceptional support and guidance throughout the college admissions process were truly unparalleled. From the beginning, they helped me set realistic expectations and demystified the entire process, which was incredibly helpful.

When I received my acceptances, I had several great options, but Andrew and his team were there to help me weigh the pros and cons of each school, which was invaluable. With their help, I ultimately chose a college that wasn't even on my radar before I consulted with CT, and I could not be happier with my decision.

What really stood out to me was how readily available Andrew and his team were to answer any questions or concerns that I had throughout the process. Whether it was recommendations, essays, standardized tests or athletic recruiting - CT was always an email or a call away, always responding quickly with personalized advice.

Overall, I highly recommend College Transitions to anyone going through the college admissions process. Andrew and his team's expertise, support, and guidance were instrumental in my success, and I am grateful for the positive impact they had on my future. Thank you, College Transitions!

I am a student-athlete playing D1 tennis at the University of Georgia. Andrew and the team at College Transitions were monumental when it came to understanding and navigating the college process. Having Brazilian parents, we didn’t know many of the intricacies of the American college system. Andrew was knowledgeable and willing to assist and accommodate my athletic goals and helped land me at my dream school! Go dawgs!

I had an amazing time working with College Transitions. They helped me to plan my schooling with actual professional help, took my ideas and concerns into account, and helped me tremendously on my entrance essays. They also connected me with colleges that I was unaware of entirely. Overall, I had an amazing experience and fully recommend their services.

Andrew and his team are so incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They truly made me feel valued and were key to helping me find the best college experience for me. Without their help I would have never found my small little Liberal Arts school and I would not be where I am today. The team helped me take on this daunting process of creating a list of schools to apply to that fit my future goals. I truly enjoyed working with everyone and appreciated their one on one attention and I truly feel like it made a difference in my college application process.
