Ivy Coach is the world’s premier college counseling firm, guiding students and parents as they navigate the churning waters of elite college admissions for over 30 years.
Top grades in the most rigorous courses and perfect or near-perfect test scores are the table stakes for admission to Ivy League and other highly selective universities. These universities, after all, deny thousands of applicants with superb grades and scores. It’s not just about the grades and scores.
It’s about presenting compelling, truthful narratives in essays and activities that showcase a singular hook — rather than well-roundedness. It’s about submitting letters of recommendation that don’t merely say a student is the best student in the class but rather reveal story after story to illustrate the point. It’s about demonstrating interest in the colleges to which students are applying — and doing so appropriately. And it’s about so much more.
