PeerTransfer

PeerTransfer connects transfer applicants with mentors who’ve been in their shoes. Whether a student is moving from community college to a four-year university or switching schools for a better fit, we provide practical support at every stage: • Essay coaching & editing Get help brainstorming, drafting, and refining your personal statement and supplemental essays from successful transfer students. • School list strategy We help students build a balanced school list based on academic, financial, and personal fit—often with inside knowledge of specific schools’ transfer culture. • Application guidance We walk students through the Common App for Transfers, financial aid options, recommendation letters, and key deadlines. • Mentorship from real transfer students Our mentors are students who’ve transferred to institutions like Cornell, UCLA, USC, Vanderbilt, NYU, and other top schools. They know what works—because they’ve done it themselves. Why It Matters The transfer process is often overlooked by high school counselors and under-resourced at many colleges. PeerTransfer fills that gap. Our model works because of relatable, lived experience—students don’t just get generic advice, they get real stories, tactical tips, and emotional support from people who’ve been through the process recently. Who We Serve • Community college students seeking to transfer to selective four-year universities • Four-year college students looking for a better academic, social, or financial fit • First-generation and low-income students navigating transfer with little formal guidance Our Mission We believe your starting point shouldn’t limit your destination. At PeerTransfer, we’re making the transfer process more human, more transparent, and more successful, one student at a time.
