Question 1

What does TransferringUP help with?

Accepted Answer

The complete transfer system: transfer strategy (school selection, credit mapping, timeline), essay and narrative development, extracurricular and leadership building, recommendation letters, research and internship placement, and 24/7 support with text access and weekly calls. Everything you need to transfer up — nothing you don’t.

Question 2

What makes TransferringUP different from other consultants?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in the students other consultants pass on — low GPAs, rejections, community-college transcripts. Our founder went from a 2.9 high-school GPA at the bottom of his class to Cornell, UVA, Michigan, NYU, and USC in one year, then turned it into a repeatable system. And transfer admissions is all we do — it’s a different game from freshman admissions, with rules we’ve mastered.

Question 3

Is TransferringUP legit and trustworthy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TransferringUP is independently accredited by the Better Business Bureau (BBB), the long-standing nonprofit that vets businesses, and holds an A- rating. The client reviews on its BBB profile are verified by the BBB as an independent third party, not self-reported, and average 5.0 stars. The company is run by Ajay Sharma, a Cornell transfer, alongside consultants who transferred into top-25 schools themselves.

Question 4

Is TransferringUP BBB accredited?

Accepted Answer

Yes. TransferringUP, LLC is an accredited business with the Better Business Bureau and holds an A- rating. Its client reviews are independently verified by the BBB, an impartial third party, and can be read directly on the company’s Better Business Bureau profile.

Question 5

What do TransferringUP reviews say?

Accepted Answer

Reviewers whose feedback is independently verified by the Better Business Bureau describe Ajay as incredibly knowledgeable, strategic, and genuinely invested in their success, and credit the team with turning low GPAs into top-30 acceptances. These are third-party-verified reviews rather than self-collected testimonials, and they average 5.0 stars.

Question 6

What GPA do I need to transfer to a top university?

Accepted Answer

There is no hard minimum. Our founder transferred to Cornell with a 2.9 GPA, and we’ve placed clients with GPAs ranging from 2.9 to 3.9 at T30 schools. Your GPA is one factor — we build the rest of your application to compensate.

Question 7

Do you only work with students who have a low GPA?

Accepted Answer

No — but it’s our specialty. We work with students across the spectrum, and we’re especially effective for those the system overlooked the first time: low high-school GPAs, rejections, and community-college transcripts. That’s exactly who we’re best at helping.

Question 8

Can I transfer from a community college to an Ivy League school?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Multiple Ivy League and T30 schools actively recruit transfer students from community colleges. We have placed community-college students at Cornell, Michigan, UVA, and other top schools.

Question 9

How long does the transfer process take?

Accepted Answer

Most of our clients are placed within one year. We work with you for a full 12 months, covering everything from school selection and essays to extracurricular development and interview prep.

Question 10

When should I start?

Accepted Answer

As early as possible in your transfer cycle. The more runway we have to build your profile, strengthen your extracurriculars, and craft your essays, the stronger your application — but we’ve also turned around tight timelines. Book a call and we’ll tell you honestly where you stand.

Question 11

Do you help with transfer essays?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Essay coaching is a core part of every package. We build your narrative from scratch, craft every essay in your application, and offer unlimited revision rounds until every essay is right.

Question 12

Who will I be working with?

Accepted Answer

Ajay, our founder (Cornell), leads strategy, and you’re supported by a team of consultants who transferred into top-25 schools themselves — Cornell, Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, and more. You get people who have actually done it.

Question 13

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how much support you want — we offer a range of packages. We’ll walk you through the options on your free intro call so you only pay for what fits your situation. No obligation.

Question 14

Do you guarantee admission to a specific school?

Accepted Answer

No honest consultant can guarantee an admissions decision — anyone who does is selling you something. What we commit to is a proven, personalized system and relentless support: the same one that’s produced dozens of top-30 acceptances from students who were told it couldn’t happen.

Question 15

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer
