College Transitions

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 college applications are.

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.

My experience with College Transitions was great as it helped me greatly in the college process and helped me get into my top school! College transitions offer help for every step of the way to make sure every aspect of the college search and application process is planned and done efficiently and effectively. College transitions offer amazing insight into many colleges. During my experience I greatly benefited from their online platform that helped me navigate the application process by showing me important dates as well as helped me organize the whole process including essay writing. I also benefited from the help I received from a great essay coach that provided me with in-depth feedback on each essay. My college counselors were always ready to help me with any problems or questions.

My experience is what helped me get into my dream school. Everyone helped break down the complex college application process and make sure I had my best chances to succeed. They were super in depth and helped me tell my story. I highly recommend any student to join College Transitions no matter what your goals are.

College Transitions made a very stressful and difficult process much more pleasant and easier to navigate. We are so grateful to Mike and his team for everything they did. They were great with both our kids and played a therapist to mom when needed :-) Mike is extremely knowledgeable about college admissions and was encouraging but honest throughout the process. Thank you College Transitions!

I cannot say enough about my daughter's experience working with Dr. Andrew Belasco. The essay coaching is top notch and the college list that Andrew developed for her was comprehensive and introduced us to schools that were previously completely off our radar. In the end, she was admitted to her first choice, Duke, where she is presently attending (and thriving!). We are forever grateful to College Transitions.

I am happy with the quality of the support given to us, as there was no room for doubt with any information. The services provided, specifically the custom college planning account and the essay coaches were extremely useful and helped to organize any work that needed to be done. The counselors were very knowledgeable and easy to talk to, and they had a great deal of information to give even for small questions. We owe many of our successes to College Transitions!

Through College Transitions, I was able to easily construct a list of colleges that I was truly excited to go to. I was able to ask Michael for help at any time, which made it really convenient. I also was able to receive great feedback on my essays, which made all of my applications a lot stronger. I would recommend College Transitions to anyone who feels unsure of handling the college decision making process.

Working with College Transitions throughout my application process was integral to my success! Dr. Belasco was with me through every stage of the process from focusing on the best extracurriculars and classes to take, helping to determine school fit, helping me to craft a common app essay that best showcased me, and more. With the help of College Transitions, I was accepted to Duke, Brown, UGA (Foundation Fellow), Emory, Vanderbilt, Rice, and Georgetown. Thank you so much for everything!

As a student, I really appreciated Micheal Trivette's guidance through the college application process. I knew what basic qualities I wanted in a college, but didn't know specifically what colleges I wanted to apply to. Micheal helped create a large list for me to choose from. He helped outline the due dates for all the colleges I was applying to and connected me with a writing coach for my essays. College Transitions made the application process super smooth. I highly recommend students use College Transitions when applying to colleges. With Micheal's help, I am now at my dream school!

We started with College Transitions when my son was a high school freshman. They worked with him throughout his four years of high school ensuring that he kept on track with his yearly goals and then helped him with narrowing down his choices for college. They also helped him with application deadlines and they asked questions about the various applications and essays. He had his own college portal which kept track of all important information about his college choices. I'm happy to say that my son ended up getting into his first choice, Cornell University. 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 can not thank enough Andrew and his team at college transitions. His guidance and support throughout the application process made all the difference.His knowledge of the college admission process, attention to detail, and willingness to answer all of my son's questions truly made my son feel confident and comfortable during this stressful time..My son was selected to his dream college. I am planning to use their services for my younger son too.

A heartfelt thank you to Michael Trivette at College Transitions. Michael met my son in his junior year at a time when college admission was a highly stressful concept. Michael spent one-on-one time with him getting to know his strengths and understanding what is important to him. Michael gave my son what he needed to move ahead with confidence. He earned acceptances to almost all his schools including a substantial merit scholarship. Michael was there for my son every step of the way.

We used College Transitions to assist with the college application process for our son. They used real data driven information to assist with college selections. College Transitions provided an editor for our son's writing who allowed him to keep his voice in the process and the results were amazing. Using College Transitions allowed us to breath through the harried process of college applications knowing that our son had a timeline, people who were supporting his efforts and that he was being guided every step of the way. Our son was admitted early decision to a highly selective college we believe in part because College Transitions helped him present himself on the Common Application, in his writing and during his interview, in a way that conveyed his strengths and capabilities. I recommend them without reservation.

We had the pleasure of working with CT during my daughter's college search. As my oldest child, I was unsure what to expect. She had high expectations and goals, worked hard and we wanted to maximize her chances of getting into her dream school. Their guidance with class/club selections that maximized her interests along with their help in identifying schools, writing many essays, interview prep, etc was key in her success. She's now a very happy freshman at Colgate! We plan on using CT for my son when it's his time.

Andrew was always available for advice and gave data driven, sound advice.

I can't thank Michael and College Transitions enough! He introduced my daughter to colleges that weren't on her radar but many of which turned out to be great options for her and more affordable than I had thought. He also guided her through the scholarship application processes, was available when she had questions and always, always had the answer. The result--she won a full, 4-year scholarship! We are forever grateful to Michael!

We contracted College Transitions last year to assist our son with application strategy. We were a bit hesitant to work with a college counselor, but our concerns were quickly put to rest. In addition to helping my son draft his activities list and strategically select a major, the team at CT offered incredible support throughout the essay writing process. Their essay coaches are the best! My son was eventually admitted into his first-choice college and earned large scholarships from several other schools. We will forever be grateful for CT's support!

Andrew, Michael, and the team at College Transitions were with us every step of the way, from helping my daughter build her college list, to brainstorming essays, to making sure that all materials were submitted in an organized and timely manner. This past week, my daughter just learned she was accepted into her first choice, Dartmouth College! We recommend College Transitions without reservation and can't thank them enough.

One of the biggest decisions a high school upperclass student makes is "what next?" The College Transitions 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!
