Meet the IvyWise Admissions Counselors

Our experience speaks for itself. IvyWise’s team of expert college admissions counselors and advisors are former Deans and Directors of admission with over 410 years of collective experience in undergraduate admissions at top schools in the U.S. We have over 100 years of direct experience in graduate admissions and advising, and nearly 100 years of experience in college guidance roles at top independent and private schools. Our expert team has hands-on experience in enrollment management, evaluating thousands of applications and sitting in committee — making tough decisions in the rooms where it all happens. They understand every type of school system and curriculum, how applications will be read, how to advise students, and what it takes to stand out.
