Bethesda College Admissions Consulting

A recent survey of Maryland high schools revealed a student-to-guidance counselor ratio of 364:1. Unfortunately, this fails to reach the ratio recommended by The National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) of 250:1. Consequently, the majority of Maryland residents, including high school students in Bethesda, do not have the level of school-based guidance required to effectively engage the college search, college application, and college financial aid process.

With over a decade of experience, College Transitions’ admissions consultants are able to provide Bethesda area students the college counseling they need by providing support related to high school course planning, extracurricular planning, developing a college resume, building a list of suitable prospective colleges, writing college essays, preparing for college interviews, and applying for financial aid and scholarships. We have provided college guidance to students attending some of the best Bethesda area high schools, including Walt Whitman High School, Walter Johnson High School, John F. Kennedy High School, Wheaton High School, Montgomery Blair High School, Holton-Arms School, Landon School, Georgetown Prep, the Heights School, and Stone Ridge School of the Sacred Heart.

Our expertise in the admissions world and connections to higher education faculty, administrators and researchers have enabled us provide a uniquely effective program of services that maximizes our students’ college admission prospects and has helped them earn admission at the best colleges and universities in Maryland such as Johns Hopkins, Goucher, St. Mary’s, and the University of Maryland as well as schools throughout the United States, including, Georgetown, Stanford, the University of Chicago, Rice, Swarthmore, Williams, Amherst and every Ivy League institution.

At this time, College Transitions is providing services to students and families residing in Bethesda, Potomac, Silver Spring, Rockville, as well as all across the D.C. area. Families wishing to learn more about our background, services and pricing may contact us at 678-710-3699 or at info@collegetransitions.com.

OUR RESULTS

“College Transitions was responsive, establishing a great rapport with our son, and keeping the process moving in a friendly and helpful way...fine tuning the essays, error checking he applications, and available to answer panicked questions almost around the clock. Sam was accepted into his first choice, The University of Chicago, a school that had seemed out of reach at the beginning of the process.”

However, College Transitions immediately settled my fears and supported me through every aspect of that process...-I just got back from Bulldog Days at Yale, and I still cannot believe that I was accepted. Thanks to your help, I got to see my dream come true."
