College Planning and Transition, LLC

"Mr. Nadir Shah helped me plan out my undergraduate degree and was able to get me into a good university after going to community college. I am very thankful for his advice and recommend him highly to anyone looking for advice about the admissions process!"

"In today’s hectic world, where limited time we have doesn’t allow us to be expert in everything that’s critical in our lives and the lives of our loved ones. So, what we do is seek help from experts who have spent time and energy to be good at what they do. It’s true for getting financial help with financial advisors, workout help from personal trainers, so why not get help for the college planning and career guidance for the most important and loved asset in our life, our kids! I have known Nadir shah for over 3 decades! He was (and is) my mentor and guide during my time in high school and college and I had always wished and desired that one day my kids would also have someone like him to guide them with their educational journey and their careers, but I had no idea that I and my kids will be fortunate enough to have him! What sets Nadir shah apart from others in this industry is his relentless, passionate, non biased, straight forward, simple but powerful, thought provoking, inspiring and personal approach to college planning and career guidance. Simply put, he treated your kids just as his own kids. His students are not just any other client, but they are his responsibility and he will guide, nurture, love and carve a path with all his knowledge, experience and expertise! Sometimes people hang up on the price tag, but they don’t see that the overall cost savings they will get is many times more than their initial investment. And besides, at the end, when you see how he takes his students from impossible scenarios to college and the careers that his students wanted to have for themselves is nothing short of “Miracles”, as long as you and your kids are willing to join and trust him on his plan! I can’t thank him enough for what he has done for my kids and family and I hope and pray that many more families would benefit from his advice, expertise and guidance :)"

"Mr Nadir Shah was my supervisor when I worked in Cook County Highway Department. He is a very knowledgeable and a kind person. He has always been very supportive of my career. HIs guidance have been valuable for my career growth. He has supported me throughout my career. He has been a great mentor and role model for me."

"Mr. Shah has a unique approach to acquiring the best possible education without sacrificing all of ones resources. His method includes honing in on the student's specific interest, his/her academic ability, and current financial standing; upon which he formulates a plan that will land him/her a full time job upon graduation from a four year college/university. This is NOT just a service pertaining to career and/or education counseling, but rather an initiative which Mr. Shah has started that gives each child (regardless of academic/socioeconomic standing) the opportunity to earn the best possible education at a fraction of the cost. Not only does he handle each case personally but customizes each student's plan with great detail and creativity. I recommend Mr. Shah to any students who are in need of such a unique service."

"My experience with College Planning and Transition was beyond amazing to say the least. Nadir went above and beyond to help me with planning all my courses and planning all my courses in such a way that it would put me in the best spot to succeed and be ahead of my peers. I originally seeked out help from him in 2012, when I graduated high school, and he helped plan my courses for what I'd take during my two years at my community college and the outline that he had planned for me, put me at least 1 semester ahead of all, both, transfer students and students already attending the university I transferred to. When I was applying to universities, I got accepted into all 11 universities I applied to largely in part to my coursework that Nadir had planned out to me. As a result, I landed an internship at BMW. In retrospect, I 100% would not be where I am today without his gracious help and guidance and I attribute much of my success to him and how well he helped plan my college career. I highly recommend him as he always thinks years and years ahead and he puts you in the best spot for success! Not to mention he goes above and beyond to help you in whatever you need in addition to college planning."
