Personalized Planning, Not One-Size-Fits-All

Tailored Strategies that Empower Students

We don’t believe in creating pressure for the sake of competition. Instead, we help students uncover and build on their strengths and passions through highly customized planning that allows them to stand out authentically, without unnecessary stress.

Boutique Model with “2+N” Oversight

Each student benefits from a strategic plan reviewed by two senior consultants—typically our founder and head of U.S. admissions—followed by a dedicated team of specialists who provide targeted support across planning, writing, and profile development. With a 1:6 consultant-to-student ratio, we offer unmatched attention and responsiveness.

End-to-End Support with Long-Term Vision

Comprehensive, Stage-Based Guidance

From early academic planning in 9th or 10th grade through to final application submission, we offer step-by-step guidance aligned with each student’s evolving goals. Our support spans strategic roadmap design, soft skills building, academic enrichment, and admissions execution.

Focus on Long-Term Growth and Fit

We guide students not just toward college admission, but toward personal and academic growth that aligns with long-term career ambitions—helping them become the best version of themselves and choose schools that are the right fit.

"Over the past five years, Ivy Talent helped me understand my strengths and grow as a leader. They supported my ideas, connected me with peers, and gave me the tools to succeed. With their guidance, I was accepted to Cornell."
Gloria, Cornell University
What touched us the most was Ivy Talent's dedication over our five-year journey. Their counseling team worked tirelessly to help both our children get into their dream schools. In the Fall 2022 application season, our daughter was accepted ED to NYU, and our son got into Fessenden. Ivy Talent Education is one of the few consulting firms that genuinely cares about students and parents. We're truly grateful we chose them.
Lillian/Charles, Fessenden School
Looking back, our decision to work with Ivy Talent proved to be absolutely right. Their entire team was incredibly professional and provided excellent guidance to both of our sons. Despite the fierce competition for boarding schools like Cranbrook, both boys were admitted to the same school. We were extremely satisfied with the entire process and decided to continue with their college planning services. Over the next four years, they remained reliable, responsible, and highly professional. In the 2022 college admissions cycle, both of our sons were accepted to Northwestern University and Cornell University!
Derek/Oliver, Northwestern University
"Working with Ivy Talent from 9th grade, I successfully gained admission to Duke University in Fall 2022."​
M, Duke University
While researching schools, I wanted to learn more about Culver Academies in Indiana. I contacted several consultants, but many didn’t respond seriously since I was still in the free consultation phase. Jessie from Ivy Talent Education, however, quickly connected me with two parents whose children attended Culver. Her initiative made us decide to proceed with Ivy Talent. Once the application process began, I could feel the team’s strong execution, attention to detail, and sincerity.
Qier, The Webb Schools (CA)
Having Ms. Lily and her team by my side always gave me a strong sense of support. They were incredibly kind and helped me in every way. I still remember when school was out for Thanksgiving break and I had nowhere to go, so I joined Ivy Talent's Thanksgiving Camp. The teachers there planned our lessons and even arranged our meals each day. It made me feel so comfortable and reassured throughout the entire experience.
Alice, Blair Academy
"Ivy Talent helped me find opportunities that matched my interests, from a quantum computing project to an internship at a major education nonprofit in New York. I’m so grateful for their guidance, it made a real difference in my Stanford acceptance.​"
B, Stanford University ​
Ivy Talent laid out my entire college application roadmap. Without them, I wouldn’t have known that besides maintaining a good GPA and taking APs, I needed to engage in activities like business competitions and research projects. The team supported me through every challenge—not just academically, but also emotionally. They were always there to lift me up.
Sam, New York University – Stern School of Business
We were amazed by how Ms. Lily matched our child to the right schools. This aspect of Ivy Talent's service became one of its greatest values. Much of what truly matters when choosing a school isn’t found on websites—it’s the invisible 80% that only experienced consultants can grasp. Thanks to Ivy Talent's in-depth knowledge of boarding schools, they have invaluable insight into matching students with the best fit school.
Stella, The Hill School
