Transfer Applicants
Planning to transfer to a new college or university? You’re in the right place.
Personalized Guidance for a Seamless Transfer
My approach to transfer counseling is personal and strategic. I take time to understand your academic record, personal priorities, and long-term goals — as well as what you and your family need in your next school. That deeper understanding helps me recommend colleges where you will not only be accepted, but where you can truly thrive.
My goal is to make the transfer process as smooth as possible, giving you clarity, confidence, and a clear plan from start to finish.
The Process for Transfer Applicants
Ready to talk details?
Every transfer student’s path is different, so I tailor my guidance to your specific timeline and stage. Early on, we might focus on clarifying your reasons for transferring, reviewing transcripts, and identifying schools that align with your academic and personal goals.
As we move forward, we’ll work on applications, essays, and any special program requirements. If you start the process later, I make sure we still cover the most important early steps so your application is as strong as possible.

Understanding Your Transfer Goals
We start by getting to know you, your academic background, and your reasons for transferring. We’ll identify what’s working, what’s not, and define the type of environment where you can thrive.
