Brentwood, Tennessee College Consulting
Welcome to idyllic Brentwood, Tennessee, a Nashville suburb that combines the amenities of a big city while immersing its residents in natural beauty. A refuge for wildlife, especially in places like the Deerwood Arboretum and the Owl’s Hill Nature Sanctuary, Brentwood is also a haven of education.
With high schools like Brentwood Academy, Currey Ingram Academy, and Brentwood High School all within the city limits and plenty more in the surrounding areas, Brentwood’s students are taught to dream big from a young age. And when it comes time for college admissions, things are no different. However, navigating college applications season alone can often feel like you’re lost in the woods with no sense of direction. It can be tough to know where to go.
But that’s where IvySummit comes in. We are here to be your guide throughout the whole process, from choosing where to apply to finishing your last essays. We have decades of experience working with students like you to make their college dreams come true, and we are excited to help you do the same. Learn more about our process below, and reach out to get started today.
Our Strategy
The college admissions process can be complicated, it’s true. But here at IvySummit, our team is composed of ex-admissions officers, education consultants, and alumni from the best schools around the world. We’ve been in this business for a long time, and we know the keys to success.
One of the keys is our fundamental belief that each student’s applications should be as unique as they are. To that end, even before writing essays or starting interview prep, we take time to get to know our students to discover their best characteristics and experiences that we will highlight in their applications. We know what admissions officers are looking for, and we will ensure that your profile draws their attention each time it comes across the desk.
Strategic High School Timeline Planning
n addition to traditional application help, we also offer assistance for students earlier in high school who are already preparing for the college admissions process. High school goes by fast, as each weekend quickly comes and goes with pep rallies, football games, parties, and more on the schedule. And though it’s important to enjoy every moment, planning for the future must be a priority as well.
To get into top colleges, you need to make the most of each year, taking the right courses, participating in the best activities, and ensuring that everything you’re doing will look good on your future applications. That’s why we offer services to plan out your high school timeline, organizing everything from school work to extracurriculars to standardized tests.

Building a College List
While you probably have a general idea of which schools you want to apply to, building a good college list takes more effort than you may think. You need to find the schools that fit your personality, your ambition, and where you see yourself in the future. Whether that’s close to home at Vanderbilt, cheering on the Vols at UT, or moving across the country, we will help find schools that are perfect for you.
With more than twenty years in the field, we have become very familiar with institutions all across America, and we will use this experience to help you weigh different campus styles, academic programs, and even vibes. Together, we’ll build a college list that will give you the best chance of admission to your dream schools, putting you directly on the path to achieving your goals.
Extracurriculars
Here, we believe that the extracurricular section of your application is maybe your best chance to gain an edge over your competition. Everyone participates in some activities in high school, from swimming to chess club to student council, and everyone must list these activities when they’re applying for college. Now, the majority of students simply write a few words about the activity and send it along, but with IvySummit, you will not be part of that majority.
That’s because we will work with you to write an activities section that makes you the star of the show, demonstrating your impact on each community that you were a part of. By doing so, we’ll show college admissions officers what you will bring to their campuses, whether that’s as a student political leader, a championship-winning athlete, or the best researcher around. With us by your side, we’ll transform this underutilized section into your secret weapon, telling your narrative through your experiences in the most effective manner possible.
Essays
Finally, the college essay, an American classic. Each fall, seniors across the country worry about how they will manage to fit their life story into just a few essays that are the most direct form of communication with the admissions officers. And while we admit that it can be stressful, we believe that it doesn’t have to be.
When you work with IvySummit, we will support you the entire time, beginning with brainstorming ideas and choosing the right prompt for your personal statement and finishing with the final edits on your last supplemental essay.
And no matter which essay we’re working on, we will always ensure to tell your individual story, highlight your best aspects, and emphatically but strategically make the case for your acceptance. If you’re interested in expert help, reach out to us today to get started, and let’s begin the journey to receiving the admissions letters of your dreams.
