I had my goal of where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do, but I desperately needed guidance on everything in between: planning college essays, editing them, reaching out to professors, bolstering my application. Understanding my trepidation at the scale of the task ahead, my mother suggested that we use Ivy Admissions, and it is thanks to that decision that I got into my dream university. Deeana, my counselor, began our first session by spending hours in a call with me to understand my background and my goals, and from there laid out a detailed plan on what I had to do, beginning with finding a suitable summer internship. She presented me several options and aided me in writing the required essays, and I ended up being accepted at two experiences which led me on the path I am on today: the first as a researcher at the Aspiring Scholars Directed Research Program(ASDRP) and the other as a programming intern at Cisco Systems. After my senior year began, Deeana worked with me week after week in perfecting my personal statement and UC essays, guiding me through how to attack the questions in a clear yet succinct manner and illuminating me to the minutiae that college admissions officers look out for. I was blown away by the detail that she and her staff put into my application and the rapid response I was given to my questions, numerous as they were. I realized after the entire process that there is no substitute for a great college counselor, and you can find one here. I can say without a doubt that Deeana played a necessary part in my admissions successes, and I am proud to say that with her help I will be attending the University of Michigan in the fall. read less

Deanna was a great help, and she guided me in areas outside of just writing college essays. I started in the summer of my junior year, and Deanna helped me stay on track in my artificial intelligence internship and also helped me with my submission for the Congressional App Challenge. The Ivy Admissions team has many resources, and Deanna connected me with a team member who had previous experience with app design and coding. Throughout the process, Deanna and her team edited and helped me outline my essays in a timely manner, and everything was organized on a google spreadsheet and google drive. The team is flexible, encouraging, and understanding of the points I want to give across in my essays. I liked having someone there to make sure I was on track with my college applications. IvyAdmissions helped me get into Carnegie Mellon and Berkeley computer science, two reach schools tied first place nationally for computer science. I was also accepted into UMich, UIUC, USC, and UT for computer science as well. Even after the college application process ends, IvyAdmissions offers assistance with scholarship applications as well, which is also very helpful. For what it’s worth, IvyAdmissions was a great assistance in guiding me throughout the college admissions process. read less
I began working with Ivy Admissions three years ago and have just accepted my offer of admissions at NYU, my dream school and a reach school. My tutors helped me in many of my classes, guided me in preparing for the SAT, and helped me build a narrative to tell my story to my dream schools. I also received over 140K in scholarships.

A very helpful organization that catered to all my needs. I utilized them to assist in outlining and editing college essays and they were very useful and professional.

I worked with Deeana for preparing for the SAT and studying with her for 2 weeks resulted in a 70 point increase. She was very understanding, helpful and well versed in the SAT material.
I was late getting college help for my son, luckily I found out about Ivy Admissions through our SAT instructor. Our counselor, Deena, was great helping my son write his essays in a very short period of time (since we did this late in the application process). We are very grateful for the help. There was no way my son would have cooperated with us the same way. No way.

There was no way my son would have cooperated with us the same way. No way. Will keep them in mind for my next high school graduate. And last but not least prices are pretty reasonable too. read less

At the start of the hectic college application process, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to major in, which schools I wanted to apply to, or where I wanted to end up. Working with Ivy Admissions helped me narrow my interests down to pick a fantastic major catered to my strengths and passions. Ivy Admissions also helped me sort out which schools I wanted to apply to based on my interests and personality. From there, Ivy Admissions helped me polish and revise my essays until they were ready to submit. I feel that the essay revision process with Ivy Admissions didn't alter my essays to fit a specific template as most other college admission consulting companies do. Instead, Ivy Admissions gave me constructive criticism that I had to work through on my own so that I could project my own voice and authentic personality through my essays– I felt that my essays truly represented me as an individual. At the end of this college application process, I ended up getting accepted into two out of my top three schools! I could not be more thankful for all of the help that Ivy Admissions provided me through this strenuous process. I would definitely recommend :) read less

Very hands on and dedicated to getting you into a good college. They helped me write and revise essays, study for standardized tests (including SAT subject) and offered help for APs. Worth the money
Ivy Admissions made applying to college so easy!! I had so much help from ACT tutoring, to getting my applications/college essays looking great. She really focused on my strengths and made sure I stood out! Applying to universities was much less stressful with the help of Ivy Admissions and I was accepted at my #1 choice university. Highly recommend!
