Initial Consultation and Goal Setting
The Ivy Ticket’s first meeting with you and your family is free of charge, as we intend to understand better your academic background, extracurricular activities, interests, and goals. We also would like to deeply discuss your aspirations and reasons for applying to your dream school. Then, we set clear objectives and timelines for the application process.
Academic Evaluation and Planning
After reviewing your academic transcripts, standardized test scores, and any relevant achievements, we identify areas for improvement and develop a plan to strengthen your academic profile. This would include a list of recommendations for challenging courses, essay competitions, personalized projects, internships, or other unique academic needs to enhance your academic credentials on your resume.
Building an Advantage for Your Resume
A vital part of the college application process is building a narrative that demonstrates your passion in a particular field, especially one outside your school. After pairing you with an invaluable industry leader, we will assist you in deepening your skill development, leadership role, and community involvement with this complex capstone project.
University Selection
You’ll be committing the next four years of your life to furthering your educational career, so The Ivy Ticket takes a calculative approach to choosing a specific Ivy League school or top-ranking university that aligns with your major choice, academic interests, career goals, and personal preferences. We not only evaluate the programs, faculty, campus culture, and resources offered by each university to determine the best fit for you, but also assist you in creating a detailed roadmap and a balanced list of reach, match, and safety schools.
Personal Statement and Supplement Essays Guidance
You only get one submission chance with your personal statement, and because of its importance, The Ivy Ticket will help you craft authentic, gripping essays that highlight your unique talents and traits. We will provide you with a mentor who graduated from your top choices and an essayist who knows what the admission office is looking for. We will help you to stand out, among the tens of thousands of other applicants.
Letters of Recommendation
The Ivy Ticket will guide you in selecting appropriate recommenders who can effectively speak to your academic abilities, character, and potential. This is a crucial process as it is one of the key references in reflecting on who you are and your potential.
Interview Preparation
The Ivy Ticket will conduct mock interviews to help you practice articulating your achievements, goals, and motivations. We have a vast number of experienced alumni who were previous interviewers at the Ivy Leagues, most notably those from Harvard and Yale. As such, we know what types of questions the interviewer will ask, and equip you with ways to make a memorable, positive impression.
Developing More Specs
As the world of admissions at elite colleges becomes more competitive, you must accumulate and garner experience on your application related to your potential major – such as competing in essay competitions, finding publications from reputable publishers, attending summer camps, participating in research programs, and gaining on-hands experience with an internship through one of our partnerships.
