Expert College Transfer Admissions Consulting
Transferring to a top university is a highly competitive process. Whether you are moving from a community college to a four-year university or upgrading to a more selective program, admissions committees evaluate transfer applicants differently than high school seniors. They look closely at your college-level academic performance and your specific reasons for transferring.
SOS Admissions gives transfer applicants a clear advantage. Our consultants are former admissions committee members from institutions like UCLA and the University of Chicago. We help you position your college record, explain any past academic issues, and build a strong case that proves you belong at your target school. We also offer private school admissions consulting for families pursuing competitive placements.

We work with transfer applicants from the beginning of the process through final submission. Some students need help targeting the right programs. Others need help explaining a rough start in college. We adjust our work to fit the student, the record, and the schools on the list.

*This applies to one application cycle for transfer applicants. For services not included in the package, our standard hourly rate applies.
We recommend applying to at least seven to ten schools, divided between safety, mid-range, and reach options. Your consultant will help you categorize each school based on your academic record and transfer profile.
**Our data shows that without a waitlist appeal letter, applicants have roughly a 12% chance of being admitted from a waitlist at a selective school. With a strong appeal letter and a coordinated waitlist campaign, that rate rises to approximately 45%. A waitlist campaign involves contacting the school over several months to reinforce your accomplishments and continued interest.
Why Choose SOS Admissions?
Transfer admissions requires a clear story and a smart application strategy. SOS Admissions helps you articulate why you are transferring, what you have accomplished on your current path, and why you are prepared to succeed at a more competitive institution. We help students organize that narrative in a way that is easy for an admissions office to follow.
Consultations are available by Zoom, FaceTime, Google Meet, Skype, or phone from anywhere in the world. We also offer in-person meetings at our Beverly Hills office.
