TAILORED TO SUIT THE INDIVIDUAL CHARACTER OF EACH UNIVERSITY, WHILE ALSO MAKING SURE MY PERSONALITY SHONE THROUGH
Accepted into Harvard, Stanford, University of Pennsylvania and Cornell
Apply Ivy’s experience with college applications was evident in the advice and aid I was given when writing my essays, as each of these was tailored to suit the individual character of each university, while also making sure that my personality shone through. Without their help, I am certain I could not have submitted such strong applications. I would staunchly and strongly recommend Apply Ivy’s services, as I am doubtful that I could have achieved what I had without their invaluable counsel and infectious enthusiasm!

GETTING INTO A “GOOD-FIT” UNIVERSITY WILL COME AS WELL, BUT AS A BYPRODUCT
Accepted into University of Chicago, University of California – Berkeley and Los Angeles, and Boston College
Apply Ivy is more than just a university admissions advising service. I would recommend every student, no matter how far away the application deadlines are, to go with Apply Ivy. They will develop you into the person you want to be. Getting into a “good-fit” university will come as well, but as a byproduct of your personal development as a whole. I started working with them in 10th grade, but honestly wished I started earlier (I feel as if my life was somewhat directionless before then). They helped me identify my interests (fitness, helping others, public speaking), and gave me guidance over the next few years to build up those interests, including starting a fitness club at my school where I helped others lose fat and gain confidence, delivering a TedX talk, and creating a fitness-based startup. These accomplishments helped me to develop as a person, build up my confidence, and were instrumental in helping me get into one of my top choices of colleges. As a current college student, I am still working on these interests and it is thanks to ApplyIvy that I discovered them!

INVALUABLE ADVICE AND PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE
Accepted into University of Pennsylvania
The first thing I did after receiving the Early Decision result from UPenn was to thank my Apply Ivy consultants for their invaluable advice and professional guidance which made my son’s application a successful one. Instead of telling my son what to do, they inspired him by raising a lot of questions and made it a perfect reflection for him to think back what were the most significant things that made him who he is today. To me, they are a godsend for us to accomplish one of the most important projects in my son’s life.

CREATING A CLEAR SCHEDULE AND GIVING ME DEADLINES SO I WOULD BE THOROUGHLY PREPARED
Accepted into Rice University
I definitely believe that working with Apply Ivy helped alleviate my stress during the application process. Apply Ivy helped me incredibly by creating a clear schedule and giving me deadlines so I would be thoroughly prepared. I strongly believe that my consultant’s enthusiasm, patience, knowledge and dedication to help (such as getting back to me as soon as possible or helping me with my essays even late at night) have helped my application show the best side of me, and I was accepted to my first choice university: Rice. I would strongly recommend anyone who is applying to the US to work with Apply Ivy!

HONEST, POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE AND GIVE GREAT ADVICE
Accepted into University of California – Los Angeles, New York University and Wesleyan University
I was uncertain and unconfident about my applications in the beginning due to low SAT scores. Apply Ivy gave me honest, positive and supportive feedback that helped me highlight my strengths beyond test numbers. I have received offers from top universities such as UCLA, NYU and Wesleyan University. Apply Ivy helps you, always looking at the bright side of things (which is one of the main reasons why I like working with them as they are always honest, positive, supportive and give great advice). I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to go to the US to meet with Apply Ivy!

HELPED ME MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS WHEN DECIDING WHAT UNIVERSITIES TO APPLY TO

I personally thought Apply Ivy was an amazing help. They helped me make informed decisions when deciding what universities to apply to, and helped to relieve stress by always being able to help if there were any queries regarding applications. I am also not the most confident in my writing abilities, but Apply Ivy helped me improve my essays and made me feel more confident in my applications. I highly recommend working with Apply Ivy as it was such a great help for me.

MY ONLY REGRET IS NOT HAVING WORKED WITH THEM SOONER
Accepted into University of Pennsylvania
I am overwhelmed by my acceptance to my first choice college, Wharton School of UPenn, early decision! Apply Ivy has been my greatest asset in helping me go through the burdensome application process. I started to pursue my interests and strengths more actively under their encouragement and guidance. In developing my essays, Apply Ivy guided me throughout the process, so that my essays were entirely unique and original. By the time I submitted my application, I felt very confident! My only regret is not having worked with them sooner – I have no reservation in recommending them to anyone!

THEIR CONCERN FOR MY ACADEMIC AND SOCIAL NOURISHMENT AT EACH UNIVERSITY WAS WHAT MADE THE ADVICE SO VALUABLE
Accepted into at least 1 of their top choices
I had no knowledge of US applications but Apply Ivy relentlessly helped me build my essays ‘fit for an Ivy’, with fine subtleties that highlighted a different aspect of me for each university. Their knowledge about what each admission committee looked for was priceless and I could not have submitted a stronger application. When it came down to picking the right school out of all my acceptances, their concern for my academic and social nourishment at each university was what made the advice so valuable. Apply Ivy not only drastically changes your chances of acceptance at the top schools, but I believe working with them on such a personal level brings you to a new level of self discovery.

WE PARTICULARLY FOUND THE INTERVIEW PREPARATION USEFUL AS APPLY IVY PREPARED MY SON IN DEPTH
Accepted into at least 1 of their top choices
I knew my son would like to attend boarding school in the US but I had no idea how to go about finding the right school for him. I am glad we had the support and assistance from Apply Ivy. Based on my son’s strengths and curriculum requirements, they were able to select schools that most suited him. We particularly found the interview preparation useful as Apply Ivy prepared my son in depth. My son was able to speak to School Admission Directors confidently; he received high praises from a few schools. The tremendous effort surely paid off, as my son was accepted to the school on top of his list and he is looking forward to the boarding school adventure in the US.
