College Counseling

We also assist with boarding / prep school and graduate school admissions. In person or via Skype as well as via phone and email, we counsel our students through all aspects of the admissions process. We help our students select appropriate universities. We provide SAT / ACT and other standardized test tutoring. And we advise students on crafting powerful college applications and college essays that help them stand out from the immense competition to Ivy League and other highly competitive colleges.

The philosophy that guides and motivates us in our college admissions assistance work is the belief that all college applicants can find an appropriate university where they can be successful academically, extracurricularly, and socially. In college admissions, particularly at highly selective colleges such as Ivy League colleges, gaining admission is certainly about the numbers but there is so much more to it. If there wasn’t, students with perfect or near perfect SAT’s and straight A’s wouldn’t get denied by highly competitive colleges year after year.

Admission to the Ivy League and other top universities is about talented college applicants sharing their unique story and weaving a compelling and truthful narrative through their college application. It’s about writing moving college essays that shed insight on the college applicant. It’s about having powerful teacher and counselor letters of recommendation. It’s about showing interest in universities and showing it appropriately. It’s about avoiding the pitfalls on various parts of the college application that diminish the chances of too many college applicants…and it’s about so much more that The Ivy Coach as your college counselor can help with!
