Ivy Premier Program

Ivy Premier Program

For students applying to the Ivy League, Stanford, or other institutions with single digit acceptance rates.

All of our advising programs provide thoughtful, personalized guidance—including support with academic planning, extracurriculars, and identifying meaningful ways for students to explore their interests. This package is designed for students applying to the most selective colleges, where admission rates are often below 10% and the review process is exceptionally competitive.

While the foundation of our work—helping students discover and present their authentic strengths—remains the same, this package includes additional layers of strategic advising specific to Ivy League and top-tier institutions. These schools look for students with not just talent, but a clearly defined sense of purpose, intellectual curiosity, and impact.

In this program, we go beyond helping students discover and shape their interests—we also guide them in identifying potential passion projects or independent initiatives that reflect those interests in a meaningful way. We help students brainstorm ideas, explore authentic avenues of impact, and understand how to position these experiences strategically in their applications. In addition to expanded essay support (often multiple supplemental essays per school), this package includes tailored guidance on institutional priorities, competitive majors, and opportunities for advanced academic engagement.
