About us

Ivy Review is a college consulting company founded by a Harvard University graduate in 1998 to help 7th–12th grade students get accepted to the colleges of their dreams.

The Ivy Review pedagogy includes ethical and moral development of all students enrolled, with the goal of creating future leaders with a sense of global awareness. Ivy Review offers individualized holistic college consulting programs to provide students with a road map to their top colleges. To ensure a personalized course for each student, Ivy Review begins by using an inventory survey that identifies the student's major and college selections. The results are then used to help the student build motivation, improve upon their study skills, focus on the right extracurricular activities, and ultimately gain admissions to the universities of their choice.
