How College transitions introduced me to and helped me get into a school I never thought I could
Before working with College Transitions my dad and I had created a list of ten or so colleges that we felt would be a good fit for me. However, after meeting Micheal and having him help me through the college process, he chose a couple of schools that a) I never even heard of but were fantastic fits b) I never thought I would get into. College transition allowed me insight on what many colleges are actually looking for-- I had a very narrow idea of the "ideal applicant," but after working with college transitions I had a much better understanding of what the "ideal applicant" actually looks like. I realized that there were so many things I underplayed that ended up becoming major "playing cards" in my application. College transitions introduced me to Vassar College, a school I never thought I would get into. After seeing that Michael believed I had the potential to get into such a selective school, I started to understand what the college process really looked like and the strengths I had to offer that for so long I didn't think would "count" towards anything. I had never heard of Vassar and it was my reach school and wild card school. I am now at Vassar, and it has exceeded my expectations. I had no idea how perfect of a fit it would be for me-- it truly did seem like Michael knew me better than I knew myself. I would have never ended up at such a good school and one that fits so perfectly for me if it hadn't been for college transitions.
