College Transfer Consulting & Mentorship
Are you considering transferring schools, either from another four-year university or a community college? Have you met other counselors who say they can help you, only to realize that they don't actually specialize in working with transfer students?
As someone who transferred to Stanford, I know firsthand how intimidating the college transfer process can be. That's why I've worked with hundreds of students to support their transfer journeys, from initial entry to community college to crafting essays and completing transfer applications. I've also worked with and learned from fellow transfers at Stanford and other top institutions, so I understand what it takes to be a competitive transfer applicant at the country's top universities — and I can't wait to share that knowledge with you.
FREE 15-Minute Consultation
Interested in a session, but unsure if this is right for you? This is a complimentary 15-minute consultation for us to introduce ourselves, discuss your needs, and answer any questions you may have about the coaching process. I look forward to meeting you!
Here's what some of my students have shared about their experiences working with me:
"Talking with Ariana was an incredible learning experience that helped me better understand what set of resources I need to utilize to better prepare myself for a transfer process. Prior to our meetings, I had very limited understanding and a lot of incorrect assumptions about constructing my application essays. Ariana provided invaluable advice and directed me to the appropriate sources of knowledge. I'll always be very grateful for all this help and support!" — Dima Y., transfer student at MIT
"Ariana's feedback on my essays were actionable and surprisingly meticulous . She truly takes her time and drops gems, super grateful!" — Omer D., transfer student at UCLA
"When I knew I wanted to transfer schools, I had no idea how to start. After some digging, I found Ari and her organization, Transfer Tea, which answered absolutely every single question I had about the transfer application process. If you are unsure of how to transfer, I highly suggest Ari, she was a lifesaver!" — Timothy W., current community college student
“As an aspiring transfer student (at the time), the process of finding more information and support outside of the walls of my community college were lacking especially when trying to find others with the same goals or have gone through the same process, but as I came across Ariana's page and reached out to her, she didn't hesitate to respond back to me instantly and schedule a time to meet. From then, she has helped me navigate almost every part of the transfer process. I wouldn't be the person I am today without her help and support. She has helped me find and land an internship from Stanford, given me recommendations on what transfer decisions I should make, and directed me to other resources she has found/created. The knowledge and wisdom she holds from not only being a person who has gone through the process, but continuing to help others do the same is something that you won't be able to find in a counselor or professor . If there was a person I could make recommendation letters for a million times it would be Ariana, please reach out to her for mentorship it will be one of the best decisions you will make (it was for me)” — Tiffany N., transfer student at USC
