College Transitions Reviews 126

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!

My son had already started planning how to navigate his high school extracurricular activities and had gathered a lot of information about how to get into his dream college. However, we wanted an expert to be involved in this process, so we chose College Transitions.
Michael and Andrew were very knowledgeable and kind, and they clearly explained every step of the process. Especially Lauren, who was my son’s writing coach—she was incredibly helpful, and I cannot thank her enough for supporting my son.
When my son had an interview with his dream school, they prepared him by connecting him with an interview coach, which I did not expect. I think it was a great decision for my son to choose College Transitions, and I believe it is worth considering having them guide you through the pre-college journey.

I worked with College Transitions this past year for my college admissions. The team was incredibly informative and helped me hone my applications to become the best they could be. Having guidance with my essays was invaluable and gave me a leg up with my admissions chances. I was accepted to colleges that I did not expect were possible, and I believe that College Transitions was a strong and direct contributor to my acceptance at Colby College. This service is absolutely worth it and will transform anyone's college applications from ordinary to extraordinary.

We used CollegeTransitions in the fall of 2025 to support our son applying to college for the class of 2030.

From our very first call with Andrew we felt like we were in good hands and with someone who really understood what we needed. He connected our son with Emily, and from the very first call they had she helped him focus his thinking and pulled out of him ideas and perspectives that I think surprised even him!

The pricing model is also very parent-friendly, much more so than the other firms we considered.

Our son was accepted into his first choice school, a highly competitive university, in Early Decision. We have recommended Andrew and his team many times already, and will continue to do so.

The College Transitions team is awesome! They do a wonderful job of truly catering their services to each student and personalizing the experience. And, of course, their work is extremely comprehensive, guiding each student through every step of the college admissions process. They are also very intentional with their actions, assigning the right advisers and writing coaches to each student.

Throughout my process, the team understood my ultimate goals and motivations for my college experience. I wanted to attend a school with an elite academic culture yet an enjoyable college experience. They understood that college is the unique bridge between high school and the professional world, helping me recognize which schools would best set me up for success post grad. College Transitions helped me reach my dreams at Duke.

College Transitions was incredibly helpful and truly essential in finding the right MBA program for me. Michael streamlined my search by offering targeted recommendations that aligned with my interests and goals.

When it came time to write essays, Emily was always quick to provide thoughtful feedback and guidance. I can confidently say that College Transitions elevated my applications, both to the schools I already had in mind and to programs I might have overlooked on my own, to a level I wouldn’t have been able to reach without their support.
I wholeheartedly recommend College Transitions and their services!

Really pleased with the College Transitions team -they do a great job combining their admissions knowledge/experience with a thoughtful approach that gets to know and understand the individual student. Very engaged and very responsive across our process. Our son is excited to start his college journey at his top choice!

We are beyond grateful for Andrew and his amazing team of experts. They believed in our daughter, guided her every step of the way, and helped turn her dream school into a reality. The support, care and dedication they showed our family meant more than we can say. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any family navigating the college admission process.

I had a great experience working with College Transitions throughout my college application process. Their guidance helped me stay organized, realistic, and prepared at every stage. They assisted in everything from building a balanced college list to refining essays and meeting deadlines.

I worked with Andrew, Michael, and Devon and all of them were quick to respond, helpful, and extremely understanding at each stage in this stressful process. They took the time to understand my goals and strengths and helped me present myself authentically in my applications. The process felt structured but never overwhelming, which made a huge difference during a stressful time.

I’m incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend College Transitions to any student looking for an effective college admissions guidance.

Very happy with the help. Proactive and engaging onboarding and game plan, with excellent essay support and editing turn around time. My son got into his 1st choice Early Decision. Thank!!

Good, in love using it

We were referred to Michael and Andrew to help in our decision regarding should our senior son go to college and if so, what might be good options. We were at a loss because high school counselors were not giving helpful recommendations. I want to say in the beginning, the experience was EXTRAORDINARY and far surpassed our expectations. Michael and Andrew were able to understand our son, identify his strengths and weaknesses, and make solid and specific recommendations. Ultimately, he was accepted to all four colleges to which he applied that were recommended. He was supported in both his filling out his college applications to highlight his strengths and help with his college essay was fantastic. Michael and Andrew then referred us to a tutoring service for SAT and he was able to raise his scores 300 points to qualify him for Florida bright future scholarship! The individualized recommendations and attention that our son received in the process was amazing. If you have concerns about the cost, we ultimately achieved scholarship money that was otherwise unobtainable and far exceeded the cost of this program; it is so worth the investment! Additionally, the self-confidence gained by our son throughout this process is invaluable.

Michael and his team provided excellent support, resources, encouragement, realistic advice/expectations, and made the entire process so much smoother than I ever could have imagined. Never did I once feel overwhelmed by the workload of applications or that I didn’t know where I stood or what my next steps were— I always felt that I was putting my best foot forward after applying their advice. So thankful for the team at College Transitions, could not have done it without them!

College transitions was extremely helpful in my transfer process. They were always able to meet to discuss essays, and provided extremely helpful and useful feedback. My advisor Michael Trivette was amazing, he responded to emails quickly and with pertinent information. I loved my experience with college transitions, and I was able to transfer to a school I love. College transitions was very knowledgeable about the transfer process and made me feel extremely confident and comfortable in my decision to transfer.

We purchased the unlimited plan, and it was helpful to have our counselor just an email away whenever we had a quick question. In addition, the counselors helped greatly with creating a list of potential colleges to apply to. However, I think the most helpful part of the package was the writing coach, who reviewed drafts in a timely manner, gave me inspiration when I was stuck, and helped tidy up my writing so it was presentable.

College Transitions was exceptional throughout the entire application process. Andrew and Michael take a data-driven approach to college admissions and possess a deep understanding of every aspect of the journey. They were consistently responsive, thoughtful, and insightful. The essay coaching, in particular, was outstanding—Christina’s guidance and feedback were truly a game changer. Their expertise and support played a major role in helping me gain admission to UVA. I highly recommend College Transitions to any student navigating the college admissions process.

College Transitions was crucial in helping me transfer into my dream school, NYU. Michael Trivette, my advisor, made the entire process far less stressful and consistently encouraged me to put my best foot forward. Lisa, my writing advisor, helped identify when my essays weren’t fully addressing the prompts and offered clear and good advice to fix them. I’m truly grateful for their support and highly recommend College Transitions to anyone navigating the transfer process.

Going with College Transitions for my transfer application process was the best decision! Andrew knew how to guide me on school choices, helped me tell my story, and the advice on applications was invaluable. Taylor's guidance through the writing process was fantastic and she gave helpful and thoughtful feedback with such a fast turnaround, it helped me stay on track. I got into all the schools I applied to and couldn't be more satisfied!
