Transfer Admissions

We help students transfer to their dream colleges every year – from UPenn, to Columbia, to Berkeley to LSE. Over 2 million college students transfer ever year in the US!

Not sure if you want to transfer? We can help!

If you answer yes to any of the questions below, contact us.

  • Have your academic interests and goals changed? Are you worried that your college can’t cater to these new interests and goals?
  • Are you disappointed by the campus experience?
  • Are the academics at your college too rigorous or too easy?
  • Have your grades improved in college and you now want a more competitive school?
  • Are you yet to join college, but think that you’ll want to try for a more competitive school?

While it may seem like the transfer application process is just a repeat of the freshman application process, it isn’t. What’s different?

Carefully evaluate your reasons for transferring.

Weigh the benefits of transferring against the drawbacks.

Ensure your shortlisted schools meet your key transfer criteria.

Understand transfer admissions rates, which are very different to freshman admissions rates.

Ensure you meet the transfer prerequisites.

Maintain a high college GPA, build an impressive college resume and develop relationships with professors.

Develop your ‘why transfer essay’ narrative.

Select your major: transfer schools find it easier to place students who know their major.

Understand how transfer deadlines vary across schools.

“There is only one phrase to perfectly describe Futureworks - Dream catcher! With her keen insight, creativity and talent for helping her clients convert every little bit of potential into something truly unique, Kavita helped me achieve my dream. Having had experience with other college prep organisations before coming to Futureworks, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and detail involved in the counselling process. Thank you for everything!”

“I had been told for almost a year that transferring to an Ivy League university was near impossible, and I was starting to accept that as well. That was before Kavita pushed me like it was her own application, and truly brought out the best in me. Reading, my original freshman applications, I could now see they lacked the maturity and depth of the essays I was able to write after the guidance I received from Futureworks. I owe my next three years in Columbia University to Kavita Singh.
