“Jaime Smith turns what feels like a maze into a map.”

Transfer students deserve the same level of care and guidance that college-bound high school seniors receive, yet few resources exist to guide them through the complex process of transferring. Jaime Smith fills the gap with this comprehensive research-backed toolkit to help readers:

• find their perfect-fit transfer-friendly college
• navigate the transfer and financial aid application procedures
• maximize transfer credits, including those from alternative sources
• happily adjust to life at their new school, academically and socially
