Andrew and Michael were a tremendous help throughout this very chaotic process. Their knowledge and expertise were invaluable. I have used them twice now and both my children were accepted to their top choice.

The team at College Transitions was helpful to my son in getting his overall application arranged in a way to maximize his opportunity to be appreciated by the college admissions advisors. In addition, their essay support was worth the cost of their services alone. Luckily even thought we found them later in the process of developing his extracurricular resume, my son was accepted to his number one choice at an elite private institution. I would recommend using their services at the 9th grade level or sooner to maximize the benefits in helping create the best profile plan to maximize your child's opportunities.

We had a very positive experience with Andrew and Michael, as well as the essay coach who helped our senior through the process of applying to college. What I found most helpful was the very candid and direct advice on building a list of colleges to apply to. This really helped to manage our expectations and understand the process. Andrew and Michael were kind and informed and kept our daughter on track as she worked to apply to the colleges. They were so helpful in the creation of the list and our Essay Coach Christina was such a great resource for helping her rewrite and brainstorm ideas to many supplemental essays as well as her personal statement. We were very pleased with all of our interactions with the whole team at College Transitions and would highly recommend them to other families..

College Transitions was everything we were looking for in a college counselor/guide experience, and more! From the first few days and initial meetings, we could tell Andrew and team knew their stuff. Even though both of us parents attended college and graduate school, so much has changed since we first went through the admissions process. The College Transitions team helped us at each step of the way with very up-to-date knowledge, insight, and mastery of a million details. I am sure we would have been pretty lost and repeatedly caught behind the 8-ball without their guidance. Their services went well beyond the basic essay support and college application strategies, to include things like determining which honors programs to apply for, suggesting summer educational opportunities, and helping select senior-year classes to best emphasize our child's commitment and interest in their chosen field. But the essay support was also exemplary; our child was paired with a professional writer who patiently worked with them through the whole process, including brainstorming meetings, several review cycles, and constant encouragement. Overall, we're extremely pleased with the experience (and outcome) and highly recommend College Transition over other options.

I highly recommend this company to any parents whose kids are in high school and need help with college applications! Their advisors and essay coaches are professional, organized, and easy to work with. Both of my kids worked with Andrew and Michael. Their advice was always spot-on, and they responded in less than 24 hours. Our writing coach Rae was especially wonderful! Her insightful comments and recommendations made those essays shine! Now, both of my kids will be attending their dream Ivy League Colleges!

One of the best decisions we made as a family is to use the services of College Transitions for my son’s college applications. The College Transitions team are experts with extensive knowledge about every college and the application process. They took the time to get to know my child and honestly assessed his prospects, then crafted a timeline and to do list with helpful reminders and benchmarks. I’d say they took most of the stress out of a very daunting process. Michael Trivette and his team were wonderful to work with, promptly returning emails and sharing his expertise with us in a highly organized manner. Kendra and the essay coach staff were excellent at providing prompt and helpful feedback on my son’s essays. In the end, we are glad we made the investment in College Transitions, and my son was accepted into his first choice school and program, Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Tech.

Incredibly valuable for navigating the college admissions journey. Helped me secure my acceptance to my top-choice school! The support with writing coaches, student portals, and more truly helps the significant amount of stress that colleges applications are.

We interviewed four different college consulting companies, and College Transitions was the obvious standout! Our son is a highly academic student, and College Transitions tailored his college application experience. Michael Trivette is definitely an expert in his field, and we were so impressed with his guidance and responsiveness. He understood we didn't want to make this a stressful process for our son, and he helped us create a very positive and healthy experience. Our son was accepted into a dual degree program (engineering and business), and we do believe the support we received from College Transitions was an integral part of his success. I highly recommend them! Thank you for everything, Michael and team!
