One of the biggest decisions a high school upperclass student makes is "what next?" The College…read moreTransitions team completely changed my graduate's educational trajectory, simply by using effective tools, unabridged college data, step-by-step application and essay coaching and simply being a voice (besides mom or dad) about choice and comparison. As a result, my student selected a school he had previously eliminated and graduated summa cum laude, even during the pandemic. He is now happily pursuing graduate studies (internationally). He is excited, fulfilled and clear-eyed about his profession. The College Transitions team taught my student to be reflective about what matters most about his educational environment, helped him weigh all factors (including economics), prioritize what matters most in his day to day experience, consider a wide range of scholarship opportunities and confidently establish a path perfect for his plans. He THRIVED. And I know this would not have been his choice without their expert guidance and patient counseling. Forever grateful!

I 100 percent recommend using College Transitions. They took all the stress out of applying for college and made the entire experience a joy.

I complained and the center manager told me it was "on brand" for that tutor. My daughter tried to be more collaborative, but at the expense of her own learning.
