College Transitions turned my transfer applicaiton process from stressful to fulfilling and insightful. Every email was responded to in a timely manner, and I faced no difficulties scheduling calls when needed. Essay feedback was detailed and always returned within 48 hours, if not sooner. Most importantly, the team guided me step-by-step with clear, concise information while ensuring my autonomy as an applicant. I was ultimately accepted into three of my top choices. I now attend Columbia University; this is nothing short of a dream come true. I enthusiastically reccomend College Transitions to any prospective users.

College Transitions completely changed my college application journey for the better. Working with Michael and Emily made the whole process so much less stressful. Michael was always so kind, supportive, and honest, and he helped me with everything from course selection to finding summer programs and making sure my applications were as strong as possible. Emily was an amazing writing coach because she helped me organize a timeline for every supplemental essay, brainstorm ideas, and improve my writing while still letting my essays be my own. They both gave me so much confidence throughout the entire process, and I always felt like they truly cared about helping me succeed. I could not have asked for a better team, and I am so grateful for everything they did for me. Thanks to them I am attending my dream school, Wake Forest, and was done with applications by November, which I never thought was possible! Highly recommend College Transitions!!

The entire setup at College Transitions is outstanding. Throughout the process, I have been able to meet with co-founders Dr. Trivette and Dr. Belasco to develop a clear plan of action and had access to resources that would have taken me countless hours to find on my own. The essay coaching from Ms. Yoffee was phenomenal as well. What stood out most to me was how responsive and organized everyone was throughout the process. Whenever I had questions about my essays, extracurriculars, or application strategy, I always had someone knowledgeable to ask. The results speak for themselves. Out of the 13 colleges I applied to, I was immediately rejected by only one, and I received special opportunities and honors at multiple others. There are seven people whom I credit for helping me get to where I am today, and Dr. Trivette, Dr. Belasco, and Ms. Yoffee are three of them (the others are my parents and a teacher!). My only regret was not paying more attention to all the emails they send with opportunities and updates in the college world. I am incredibly grateful for their guidance and would highly recommend College Transitions to any student going through the college admissions process.

College Transitions played an instrumental role in helping my son, navigate the college admissions process and ultimately earn acceptances from several top‑tier universities, including Stanford, Northwestern, and Rice. Their team is exceptionally knowledgeable, organized, and genuinely invested in each student’s success. My son worked closely with Adrienne, who guided him through academic planning, the Common App setup, recommendations, résumé building, and the activities list, etc. She was consistently patient and thorough, reviewing every draft with him multiple times and ensuring he understood each step and followed the deadlines. Her calm, structured approach made a stressful process feel manageable. For writing, Rene supported my son on his personal statement and all college‑specific essays. She took the time to understand his background and voice, and her editorial feedback was thoughtful, constructive, and never rushed. They refined his personal statement through more than ten drafts, and not once did she show impatience—only commitment to helping him express himself authentically. College Transitions provided both expertise and genuine care. Their guidance made an enormous difference in my son's confidence and outcomes, and I’m deeply grateful for their support.

The college application process proved far more complex than our family anticipated. My desire for data, my son's challenge of balancing his search for the right college fit and filling out applications with a demanding high school course load, and my husband's need for a clear "bottom line" created stress and competing priorities. College Transitions stepped into this chaos with remarkable expertise, professionalism, and calm, bringing clarity to what had become an overwhelming process. Their guidance quickly earned our complete trust, and we came to rely on them at every stage—from choosing appropriate high school courses for his college goals, to recommending standardized testing tutors, to building a thoughtful college list, to writing essays, and to helping our son, and our family, evaluate his acceptance offers. Their advice was consistently insightful, strategic, and personalized. Looking back, we are confident that our son would not have achieved multiple acceptances to highly selective universities without College Transitions' guidance. We are deeply grateful for their partnership throughout this high-stakes journey and wholeheartedly acknowledge that our son would not have yielded his multiple acceptances at highly selective universities had we not relied on College Transitions.

Michael and Elijah were efficient and easy to work with! They helped me get into my dream school! I would recommend College Transitions to anyone looking for help anywhere in the college admissions process, from making a list of prospective schools to hitting submit on an application!

We were truly fortunate to work with College Transition throughout the college admissions process. Our experience was Great! Andrew is outstanding, incredibly knowledgeable, detail-oriented, always available, and consistently responsive. He understands every aspect of the admissions process, especially the nuances and “ins and outs” that can make a meaningful difference for students and families. It is genuinely enjoyable to read his thoughts and insights because they are thoughtful, logical, and deeply informed by experience and vision, while always being carefully tailored to each student’s unique situation. What impressed us most was the quality of communication. His emails were thoughtful, clear, and highly professional, with every word serving a purpose. He addressed every concern thoroughly, and after reading his guidance, we always felt confident about the next steps and the decisions ahead. As parents of triplets, navigating the college admissions process was especially challenging, particularly as international students working within a budget. Thanks to God first, and then to Andrew’s exceptional guidance, support, and strategic approach, all three of our children were accepted into highly respected universities, including Texas A&M , Georgia Tech, and the CWRU Pre-Dental Joint Program. We genuinely could not have achieved these incredible outcomes without his dedication and support. We highly recommend College Transition to any family going through the college admissions journey. We only wish we had discovered them earlier. One piece of advice for new families: take the time early on to fully understand the system and resources they provide, because their tools and support are incredibly valuable when used to their full potential. Most importantly, start as early as possible, regardless of your child’s grade level. Thank you so much, Andrew, and thanks to the entire College Transition team for your dedication, professionalism, and genuine care. Keep up the excellent work!

My daughter and I were so fortunate to talk to the co-Founder Michael Triette today. This is just a Free consultation, for the whole conversation, he's been Fully standing in our shoes to understand our situation. He's genuine and honest, he provided us a lot of valuable information and even though he did not mention the service at all, he gave us the freedom to decide. I've talked to quite a few consultants from other institutions, Mr. Trivette is the only one who really think for the client. I really appreciate it and respect that. I HIGHLY recommend College Transition!
