“The IvyWise team has made my dream come true! I got admitted to my top choice university as an ED applicant — it’s truly such a relief. On top of that, they were extremely professional and organized (it is a huge advantage when it comes to college applications.) I am forever grateful for my counselor and the IvyWise team. It has been a wonderful experience.”
– Student, Lebanon
Accepted Early Decision to New York University
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for . . . all your invaluable help in the past year. I can only imagine my callow little self walking into your office last summer, probably late, and without any idea what admissions officers — or literally anyone — care to read. Thank you for whipping me into shape. ...I’m attending a school I never thought I’d have a shot at, not even a minute before I was accepted, and I can’t thank you enough for your guidance!”
– Student, Connecticut
Accepted to Yale University
“Despite beginning the process with IvyWise late in the college application season, [my counselor] was able to help find which colleges best suited me and fine-tune every one of my numerous essay drafts for each college. ...Without guidance from [my IvyWise counselor] and the rest of the team at IvyWise, the college application process would have been a much more difficult and daunting task.”
– Student, California
Accepted Early Decision to New York University
“I just wanted to take the time again to thank you for all your help in guiding me through the admissions process. All the time and hard work has finally paid off with the acceptance, and I only have you to thank for it. After advising me on all the extracurricular activities, course selection essays, and more, I understand how much you contributed to the strength of my application.”

“I could not have done any of this without your help and guidance along the way! Whether it was choosing the right extracurricular activities, preparing for standardized testing and choosing testing dates, writing essays (a huge portion of my application!), or just powering through the horrors of junior year, you were always there for me, and you provided clear guidance the entire way!”
– Student, New York
Accepted Early Decision to Dartmouth College
“There was so much that I was blind to in the college admissions process before I started IvyWise. Working with my counselor, I was able to stay on top of all my goals and manage a tight schedule. She helped me sort through the different pieces and decipher which ones were most important. My counselor was always positive, supportive, and friendly. I am so grateful for my IvyWise experience! ”
– Student, Massachusetts

“The attention to student's needs that IvyWise offers is like no other program I have ever seen. They want to make sure that you are creating the best application and that you are choosing schools that are the right fit for you. Through IvyWise, I was able to highlight high points in my application and make it more appealing to admission counselors. After the completion of my program I felt secure and happy about my application and the process I went through to achieve it.”
– Student, Brazil
Accepted to the University of Southern California
“My counselor helped me so much during the college application process. She helped me find the appropriate programs and schools that were right for me. She was the most helpful for my essays and helping me explain and understand why I wanted to study what I did. She was always supportive, regardless of the admission decision, and went out of her way to research things for me. Thank you so much!”
– Student, California
