IvyWise Pro Bono Student Feature: Kaitlyn

As high school seniors across the U.S., and the world, await college admission decisions for the class of 2021, it’s important to remember the focus of this process at the end of the day: the student. At IvyWise we have the honor of working with some amazing students, and we’d like to take the time to feature some of them.

At IvyWise our Ivy college consultants work with a number of pro bono students every year, many of whom come to us later in the process and need significant guidance. One of our pro bono students, Kaitlyn, is an exceptional student from Missouri who came to us at the start of her junior year and needed some help preparing for junior and senior year, as well as developing an application strategy.

We caught up with Kaitlyn to learn more about her college admissions journey and what it was like to work with IvyWise during this process.

Watch her video diary below!
