Testimonials

HAILEY

The transfer process is largely a mystery, and as an international student even more so. The Goat and his team really are the experts at what they do and my results getting into multiple Ivies speak to that.

JULIA

I worked with my advisor for about a year. She had answers for all of my questions and I can honestly say the service I received was worth a lot more than I paid. They are the best advisors in the game.

WILL

As a pre-med it is really hard to stand out. I got all the help I needed to build an org from the ground up. The guidance I received is how I stood out, and I have no doubt it's why I'm not a student at Brown.

JESSICA

With the help of The Goat, my work experience in Kenya was translated into a thorough extracurricular story that I could build upon. I am certain that he placed a crucial role in my my acceptance at Upenn.

Experience and Expertise: At Transfer Goat, we take pride in our team of experienced college transfer advisors, who have successfully attended elite institutions themselves. With firsthand knowledge of the transfer process, we understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with it.

Tailored Approach: We believe that each client’s transfer process is unique, which is why we take a personalized approach to help you build a strong resume that showcases your extracurriculars, setting you apart from other applicants.

First, we help you identify your unique strengths and experiences that set you apart from other applicants. During the initial months, our focus will be to assist you in developing your extracurricular activities.  Then, we work with you to craft a compelling personal statement that showcases your talents and tells your story in a way that resonates with admissions officers. Along the way, our experienced advisors provide feedback and guidance on your essays to ensure they are well-written, polished, and impactful.

At Transfer Goat, we understand that the transfer application process can be daunting, and we’re here to make it easier for you. Our team is dedicated to providing personalized attention to every student, starting with an in-depth consultation to assess your needs and goals. From there, we work closely with you to create a customized plan that meets your specific requirements, including school selection, building your extracurriculars, and crafting/editing your essays.

At Transfer Goat, we understand that every student’s transfer journey is unique. That’s why we welcome applicants to our program at any point in the transfer application process, whether you’re just starting to think about transferring or are already knee-deep into the process.

We’ve had students join our program two years in advance and those who sign up a week before applications are due.

We recommend that students begin working with us at least a few months to a year before the transfer application deadline for optimal results. This gives us sufficient time to help you develop extracurriculars and narratives that will set you apart from other applicants.

Our approach begins with a dedicated advisor who will work with you to develop a customized plan that addresses your unique needs and goals. We also understand that the transfer application process can be complicated, which is why we have a network of advisors with varying areas of expertise. With your permission, we can bring in additional advisors to assist during the essay process if needed.

Yes! Transfer Goat provides personalized guidance and support to students looking to transfer to a wide range of institutions, including graduate schools. Our process is very similar to those applying for undergraduate degrees. We will provide valuable insights and guidance on selecting the right schools, preparing your application materials, and developing a strong personal statement.

Each year we provide assistance to several students from FGLI backgrounds as they navigate the transfer process. If you are an FGLI student and aspire to transfer to an elite university reach out to us via email at hello@transfergoat.com.
