Essay Starter Package
This package is offered to students who have a firm grasp on which schools they are applying to and their admissions strategy, but who wish to have expert guidance and review on their essays for one school. Students will receive two 1-hour online sessions to brainstorm essay ideas, strategically analyze their essays, and formulate an appropriate action plan. It includes the following:
Initial Essay Strategy and Brainstorming Session: Students receive a 1-hour crash course where students will formulate an essay strategy for 1 school, brainstorm essay topics with one of our elite counselors, and be given high-level essay examples to help them write essays on their own.
Ongoing Essay Support: After writing their essays, students will receive detailed written feedback on up to 4 essay drafts so that they can revise their writing with confidence. Each essay will be carefully analyzed and written feedback will be provided which is aimed at helping the student improve the impact, voice, authenticity, passion, word choice, and grammar of the writing.
Final Review of Materials and Strategy: In this culminating 1-hour session, students meet with their counselor in a 1-on-1 online session to receive a high-level overview of essays before submission.
“Authenticity! Authenticity! Authenticity! My son was struggling to find his passion through his extracurriculars and to find his voice in his admissions essays, but our counselor helped him to figure out what was “authentic” to him and what made the most sense to participate in, and write about, based on his own unique passions and interests. In the end, he was able to put together some fantastic essays and applications that were true to our son’s core values and talents. He kept striving for authenticity and we were so thrilled to see him shine as his true, authentic self after working with Ivy Academic Prep. Our son was admitted to Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, and Harvard!!”

“My counselor from Ivy Academic Prep was an admissions essay master! And, more importantly, with their help I was able to get admitted to U. Chicago, Brown, and NYU. They helped me with every step of the admissions process and I am deeply grateful for the in-depth admissions help that I received. The online admissions counseling was an integral part of the process because my counselor was available to me anytime that I needed their help. ”

“I worked with Ivy Academic Prep for over a year. I was a special case, since I was a returning to school after years away. Ivy Academic Prep helped me through the process and fine-tuned my application until I received an offer of admission from my first-choice school in my first-choice program. I couldn’t have gotten there without them.”
