About Ivy Scholars
Ivy Scholars’ team of university professors and mentor consultants is dedicated to enriching students’ intellectual vitality and providing them a strategic edge in admissions. Ivy Scholars works with students where they are, from 7th graders trying to apply to the right high school and optimizing their curriculum plans, to students who just got rejected after an early or regular decision application and want the best chance to get into a great college through strategic management of updates, appeals and transfer strategies.
Ivy Scholars is particularly notable for its success helping students find spots in competitive computer engineering and premedical programs at top universities. Ivy Scholars works with a diverse range of students and delivers a personalized approach to help each student find their best fit school.
Services
Ivy Scholars guides 7th to 11th grade students through candidacy building, 12th grade students through college applications, and current undergraduates through transfer applications. The application process builds and highlights a student’s strengths guiding students to finding the best colleges that will serve their needs.
Ivy Scholars students work with one mentor for their entire experience, advising them on pursuing their passions and building a holistic narrative that will appeal to admissions officers. Mentors have small caseloads with fewer than 15 students per semester, so they can dedicate over 2 hours to each student’s case per week. Ivy Scholars mentors proactively search for ways to help students excel academically, pursue capstone projects in their passion areas, and develop skills in leadership and community service.
Ivy Scholars offers additional services as needed, such as academic coaching for executive functioning and time management, SAT/ACT test prep tutoring, internship mentorship, and research mentorship.
