As my junior year began to close and senior year loomed ahead, I felt daunted by the seemingly endless forms and essays that come with the college application process.

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

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

We were Very Pleased with the Whole Experience
We were trying to figure out how to navigate through the complicated process of college applications which seemed like a daunting task. The process Ivy Admissions presented was very stream-lined and organized. There was a clear plan to follow every week. The weekly video sessions gave my son not only constructive criticisms about the essays he had written but also encouraged him to keep working hard to achieve his goal. As a result my son got into a top engineering school of his choice. We were very pleased with the whole experience and highly recommend it to anyone starting their college application process.

More About Ivy Admissions
College Admissions Consulting
The first aspect of our college admissions consulting process is getting to know your student. We do this by first reviewing transcripts, extracurricular programs, honors, awards and outstanding talents. We then recommend ways to emphasize strengths, successes, and achievements. Finally, we create an ideal personal narrative and prioritize future action items to support that narrative.
We then create the perfect college list based on a variety of factors. Together, we will explore priorities including programs, location, size, and extracurricular opportunities. Ivy Admissions will leverage connections with admissions offices in order to identify special admission opportunities and unique programs. Ultimately, we will draft a list of schools that match needs, desires, and aspirations of your student.
Once this initial work is completed, our Ivy Admissions consultants will work with your student through the application process. This includes selecting suitable teachers to write letters of recommendation, deciding whether to apply for Early Decision or Early Action, and creating a timeline to manage deadlines and complete applications. The Ivy Admissions method takes the stress out of applications for your student.

GPA Elevation Through Tutoring
At Ivy Admissions, we understand that sometimes a student may be looking to bolster their current GPA prior to their applications. Our consultants diligently manage and monitor grades as early as the eighth grade in order to identify any areas in which your student may require extra support. We offer targeted tutoring services to elevate high school GPA throughout high school career. These effective and efficient tutoring methods focus on studying methods and test preparation as well as project and essays based skills, to not only increase your student's GPA but to also provide them the skills to succeed in college as well.
Graduate Students: MBA, MD, JD, and Masters Programs
Admissions help guide you in this process. Often, students applying to graduate school are already working and do not have the large amount of time that is necessary to apply competitively available due to their busy schedules. Ivy Admissions is able to help you whether you are interested in applying for your MBA, MD, JD, or other masters or PHD program.
We have specialized experience with Ivy League institutions at the graduate level. Whatever your program of interest, Ivy Admissions will work with your desired school lists to determine what kind of candidates each school is looking for. We will then work with you in order to tailor your application to ensure that you stand out among the crowd. With graduate school, it is also important to leverage connections with professors and alumni of the program. Ivy Admissions will take all the hassle out of identifying these contacts for you and will work to set up calls or in person interviews with a variety of associates of each school. Ivy Admissions is here to help you achieve your dreams- all we need to do is get started.
