Transfer Student Gets Great College Advice

admissions, Denver, transfer

Mark and I first met when I was on a layover at the Denver airport. I went to him for transfer admission help and he went above and beyond in delivering advice, taking both my personal and professional goals into consideration. His background in higher education allows him to offer a wide breadth of knowledge from the perspective of a professor, admissions officer, and parent. My initial consultation with Mark was nearly a year ago yet we still maintain a close rapport.
