Watch the Replay: The College Transfer Process

A step-by-step guide to transferring successfully — from deciding to apply to getting in

In this session, Thomas Caleel (Former Director of MBA Admissions at The Wharton School, UPenn; Founder of Admittedly ) and Sonam Aidasani (Director of Programs and Strategy; Former Senior Admissions Officer, Duke University) walk through the most important question in the college transfer process — the one that comes before any application, essay, or school list. Is transferring actually the right strategic move, or is it an escape from a problem that will follow you to the next school? Get the framework for making this decision with clarity, not urgency.

This replay is intended to help college students who are considering a transfer evaluate their decision strategically — so they can move forward with confidence rather than uncertainty.

Key Moments

✓ Is Transferring the Right Move? How to evaluate your current situation honestly and identify whether the problem is your school, your major, your environment — or something that will follow you anywhere.
✓ What's Actually Missing: How to identify what your current college experience is truly lacking and what you actually need from your next institution.
✓ Finding the Right Fit: How to determine which type of institution — and which specific programs — genuinely align with your goals, not just your frustration with where you are now.
✓ The Decision Framework: Why making this decision with clarity, rather than urgency or emotion, is the foundation that makes everything else in the transfer process stronger.
