VIP: Application and Essay Intensive
The VIP Application & Essay Intensive is a concentrated, in-person program designed to accelerate progress and elevate quality across the most critical parts of the admissions process. Over an intensive seven-to-ten day period, students and families work closely with a designated IvySummit advisor to complete and refine the Common Application, personal statement, and activities list—ensuring every element is cohesive, compelling, and submission-ready.
