“It’s almost been one year since I hired a college consultant, Ivy Coach, for my son Brennan who just started his first year at Vanderbilt. Brennan had his sights set on highly selective colleges and I was up late one night searching for the likelihood he would get in.

I found a college consulting firm, Ivy Coach, that focuses on Ivy League and other top tier schools and was immediately intrigued. They had a Complimentary Consultation which I booked right away and from there I booked our $2,950 call.

Brennan had already written his essays and started filling out his Common App. so during the call we got hands on advice on what activities to spotlight, how to avoid coming across as well-rounded or privileged and instead inspire admissions officers to root for him, the importance of avoiding ’third-rail’ topics such as grandparents, travel, illness, sports, music, and community service, how to incorporate the right level of specificity into ’Why College’ essays to show, rather than simply tell, that he was genuinely interested in attending a particular institution, and even seemingly small details of his application, such as the order in which he presented his parents in the family section. It was just an hour but it helped us get clarity on what schools offered the best chance for Brennan’s acceptance and what things he should do to optimize his case.

I know all of us are trying to navigate the world of college admissions and I think Ivy Coach is such a help if you have a kid who wants to go to a more selective school. I’m tagging them here and you can set up your own Complimentary Consultation with them to see if it’s a fit.”
