Did not help in any admissions. Child got into all the schools that Ivy Review DID NOT help with. The schools Ivy review helped with, student did not get admission. Student is stellar with above average scores however Ivy review provided generic feedback and timeline I truly could have just found utilizing some quick google searches. Essay feedback was not personalized enough, very generic advice. To improve: Needs more 1-1 sessions of actually doing work and guiding students, provide feedback on a case by case basis, not just general admission strategy. Would not recommend, especially if youre interested in Ivy League admissions -- their strategy is not competitive enough.

We used services of Ivy Review for my son who started college this weekend. When getting ready for college admissions for my son in his high school, we realized we needed expert guidance. We did paid initial reviews with two different consulting agencies. Second was Ivy that came highly recommended from a family friend. Soon after we spent an hour with Aditi from Ivy, my son as well as I agreed we needed her. She is an absolute professional, highly knowledgeable about colleges, and their different college admission criteria. She helped us focus on my son's resume gaps and what we could do to remedy. From then on, regularly working with my son, as well as me, she systematically worked through a) college selection, b) college visits plan and prep, c) applications preparations, d) following through to make sure we were on track for application submissions. The number of times that my son did back and forth with Ivy's skilled essay reviewers was itself worth all the money. Needless to say, she can't turn a B grade into and A, or write the essays for you or just get you into college X because you think you are worth it. But preparations are important. And with Aditi's help and rest of Ivy staff, I realized we did put our best foot forward. And that's what I was happy to pay for. We are in the east coast and Ivy on the west coast, but there was no issue working over the phone and emails. We did attend one of the Ivy workshops in person when we did college visits in CA. And I think if you are working remotely, attending one such is useful.If you read all this, you might want to know my son got admitted to Princeton, and UC Berkeley from his top 5 choices. And to my immense relief, he picked one close to home..I highly recommend Aditi, and her Ivy Review crew.
