Services for College Students and Graduates
IvyWise can help you achieve your academic, graduate admissions, and professional goals.
Comprehensive Support Designed for Every Phase of Your Higher Education Journey
IvyWise specializes in guiding students to their best-fit colleges, but, as higher ed experts, we know that the need for continued support and guidance doesn’t stop once students get to campus. The transition from high school to college can be daunting as students juggle college-level academics while learning to manage their time and schedules — often for the first time on their own.
Students have the challenge of completing their degrees on time while also planning the next phases of their journeys — whether that’s transferring schools, looking ahead to graduate, law, business, or medical school, or stepping out into the workforce. IvyWise experts support current college students through their entire higher education experiences — and beyond.
Services for College Students and Graduates
College and postgraduate life is exciting and full of endless possibilities for you to build a happy and successful future. Expert guidance during this formative time will help you take advantage of the opportunities available to you in order to pursue your dream career. From academic advising to career coaching, IvyWise offers unique solutions to help you succeed.
Academic Advising
You’re in college — now what? This time in your life is exciting, but you need expert guidance when deciding how to choose a major, career, and life path so you can graduate on time with a solid postgraduate plan.
Transfer Admissions Counseling
There are many reasons why students choose to transfer schools during their higher education journey. The reality is, it’s not as simple as selecting a new college or university and enrolling, especially for students hoping to apply to more selective institutions. At IvyWise, we work with students to understand why they want to transfer, what they want out of their new school — academically, socially, and financially — and what it will take to achieve that goal.
Graduate Admissions Counseling
For many students, the next step in their education or career is applying to graduate school. The graduate admissions process can take up to a year (or longer!) to complete, and with so many application elements to juggle it’s helpful to have an expert guiding you through the journey. Whether you’re applying to medical school, law school, MBA programs, or other graduate school programs, we have graduate admissions counselors who can help you prepare for what’s next and have the best chance of admission to your top programs.
Tutoring and Test Prep Services
We have a team of expert tutors, skills coaches, and test prep professionals who can help you develop proper time management and study skills, succeed in your college coursework, and prepare you for any graduate school entrance exams if needed. Our tutors are subject-matter experts who can help you raise your grades, prepare for midterm and final exams, and ensure you are on track to maintain your goal GPA throughout your higher education career.
IvyWise Has the Expertise You Need
IvyWise has a team of expert academic advisors and graduate counselors with nearly 80 years of collective experience in advising and graduate admissions. Our expert graduate counselors are all former admissions officers from Harvard and Stanford Medical School, Georgetown, and Wharton. They have sat on graduate admissions committees and know how applications are read and what it takes to gain admission to top programs.
Our academic advisors have extensive experience in advising undergrads at top schools like UC Berkeley and Northeastern, and our tutoring team includes subject matter experts, test prep specialists, and executive functioning coaches.
Students applying to graduate and transfer programs get the benefit of the entire team’s expertise through the IvyWise Roundtable experience. This mock admissions committee review gives applicants the benefit of comprehensive feedback before they hit ‘submit.’
“I just wanted to say thank you one more time for all of your hours and effort in helping me with my applications, ‘imagining you’re there’s’, and advice in choosing a place that was good for me. I could not have done it without your services, and I will always be indebted to you.”
