Transfer Admissions Counseling
Navigating Your Path to Success
College is a rigorous endeavor
Knowing that the school you’re at isn’t right for you can leave you feeling trapped and overwhelmed. Don’t worry, you can transfer to a new college to find a new academic home and get a new lease on your education. The right college will afford you new opportunities, and set you up well for the future you’re working towards.
Pak Group can help you find the right college.
The first step is knowing that you need a change; the second is determining what characteristics, location, and programs best fit your unique needs. Our transfer admissions coaching takes place over 5 distinct phases:
From Discovery to Success
The Pak Group Way
PHASE 1
The first phase in our transfer coaching process
How this Works: Sam came to us while attending a great liberal arts college. While the curriculum was fulfilling and interesting, Sam wanted a career on Wall Street, and the top firms there only recruit students from a select handful of colleges. While Sam could get a great job with his current university, to achieve his goals he would need to attend a different institution.
How this Works: Sam decided to go for a very competitive application strategy, as many transfer students do. After all, there’s no point in applying to transfer to a worse school than the one you’re in currently. We helped him track the varying due dates of each of the applications, and the differing requirements between them.

PHASE 3
Next, we help you craft your transfer essay
How this Works: We helped a student, Jane, transfer from a small liberal arts college to a more urban campus, with more multidisciplinary options. Her essay needed to show why she wanted to transfer, and what a new college could offer her that her current school did not. We are including this essay because it does an exemplary job showing how to describe why a new school is the right choice for you, without unfairly denigrating your current institution.
How this Works: Sam was receiving a combination of merit and need based aid from his present school. After getting into an Ivy League institution, he was informed that he was not eligible for aid. No Ivy League schools provide merit aid, and they can be selective with how they apportion need-based aid.
