They place particular emphasis on college coaching, candidacy building, and test preparation with the overall goal of bringing clarity to an increasingly complex college admissions process.
About Company
Ivy Scholars is divided between three physical locations: Houston, New York, and Los Angeles, which provides Ivy Scholars with a presence in three vibrant metropolitan areas with large populations. According to its website, this allows their team to gain intimate experience in particular geographic regions versus running a nationwide consultancy model. This also allows them to gain experience in regional college admissions versus focusing primarily on Ivy League and top-tier colleges like the majority of college consultancies. Ivy Scholars has helped over 400 students get access to top colleges and boosts a success rate of 95%. It provides assistance for undergraduate admissions, transfer admissions, and graduate admissions, with a particular emphasis on essay writing, attaining scholarships, interview prep, and application streamlining. It states that it offers free consultations for potential clients. Its team consists of experts in test prep, writing, mentors, and other academic professionals.
Ivy Scholars Score
Ivy Scholars Review
Ivy Scholars shines with a 5 in web presence, a score only afforded to those who show up on the first page of Google organic search results. 41 independent, verified reviews also get them a 5 in reputation. They get an excellent score of 4 in the results category, thanks to their 3x success rate: impressive. Unfortunately, a lack of former admissions officers on their team gives them a 0 in the team quality and combined knowledge categories, which is slightly offset by their score of 4 in team size (9 application “mentors”). Despite great results, reviews, and web presence, they score a 1 in the influencer category, having only 4 Twitter followers and 5 YouTube subscribers. Final score: 2.71.
